The Archer BE550 is the perfect way to upgrade to Wi-Fi 7 on a budget. This tri-band Wi-Fi 7 router features the same V-Fold design language as the more expensive BE800 but still packs in plenty of ports. There’s a 2.5 Gbps WAN port along with four 2.5 Gbps LAN ports around back and even a USB port for sharing data across your network. The BE550 can reach a max speed of 9.2 Gbps and covers up to 2,000 square feet with a strong Wi-Fi 7 signal.

The Archer BE800 takes things up a notch with faster speeds, more multi-gig Ethernet ports and an LED screen on the front. Along with four 2.5 Gbps LAN ports and a USB port, you also get two 10 Gbps WAN ports, one of which is a SFP+ combo port for Fiber internet. The BE800 can reach a max speed of 19 Gbps and even has a separate network for your smart home devices.

In our Asus RT-BE96U review, we loved its fast speeds and all of the detailed information available in its app. This one could drop to even a lower price during Prime Big Day Deals though.

If you want one of the best gaming routers with Wi-Fi 7 support, then the Archer GE800 certainly fits the bill. It has a unique design with wings on either side that feature built-in RGB lighting.

The TP-Link Deco BE25 is a small and unobtrusive, dual-band Wi-Fi 7 mesh kit you can easily find a place for in your home. Despite its more affordable price, this mesh Wi-Fi system comes with almost all of Wi-Fi 7’s best features like support for Multi-Link Operation but you don’t get access to the faster 6 GHz band.

What’s neat about the USB port is that you can plug in your phone and get all of your devices online using mobile tethering during an internet outage.

The Eero Pro 7 is a Wi-Fi 7-powered mesh kit that’s much more compact than the larger Eero Max 7 and a whole lot cheaper too. Unlike the smaller Eero 7, this is a tri-band mesh router with all of Wi-Fi 7’s best features. Each unit can cover up to 2,00 square feet and supports over 200 connected devices. On the back of the Eero Pro 7, you get two high-speed 5 Gbps Ethernet ports and any of the units can serve as your main router.

In our Netgear Orbi 770 review, we were very impressed with its performance, particularly at mid-range distances where other mesh Wi-Fi systems tend to fall short.

On the back of the Deco BE67, you get a super-fast 10 Gbps input port along with a 2.5 Gbps and gigabit Ethernet port. However, there’s also a WPS button for quickly connecting new devices and a USB port for sharing data across your network.
