## Points to Consider (Expert Review):
*
* Absence of 6GHz Band: Although it's a Wi-Fi 7 router, it operates as a dual-band system only and does not support the third 6GHz frequency, meaning it doesn't fully leverage the maximum Wi-Fi 7 speeds for highly compatible devices.
* Remote Performance: The 5 GHz band speed drops significantly at longer distances. It's best used in apartments or with additional Mesh points for larger homes. [2]
