Easy to set up with strong range and speed.
Read Android Police review - 77CNET
A reliable, easy and well-priced Wi-Fi 6E mesh with strong smart home support.
Read CNET review - 70Android Central
A fast, easy and attractive mesh kit, but 6E devices rarely use 6GHz, there is no multi-gig and the app is basic.
Read Android Central review - 70How-To Geek
Simple, affordable and good-looking for set-and-forget users, but limited controls and odd reluctance to use the 6GHz band make it the reviewer's least favorite 6E router.
Read How-To Geek review - 70PCMag UK
A good-looking and simple Wi-Fi 6E mesh with respectable performance, held back by limited settings and no multi-gig.
Read PCMag UK review - 60Dong Knows Tech
Ranked the worst of over a dozen Wi-Fi 6E systems tested, with slow real-world speeds, minimal settings and privacy worries, only suitable for slow broadband and Google loyalists.
Read Dong Knows Tech review - 50Tech Advisor
Slick and reasonably priced, but speeds disappointed, a Pixel 6 would not use 6GHz and the app frustrates.
Read Tech Advisor review - 40Expert Reviews
Easy to set up and adequate for everyday use, but outpaced by cheaper rivals and short on features.
Read Expert Reviews review - 83est.Engadget
Not the fastest, but easy to use, stable and affordable, making it a good pick for mainstream users.
Read Engadget review - 66est.The Ambient
A pretty, easy-to-set-up Wi-Fi 6E mesh system with Matter support, but average speeds, a problematic 6GHz band and limited features mean better mesh options exist.
Read The Ambient review - 60est.Trusted Reviews
Cheap and easy to set up, but throughput is mediocre and the reviewer could not get 6GHz working.

"Est." means the outlet printed no score, so we estimated one from its verdict and checked our estimates against ratings outlets print. How we check estimates
