Our opinion
The no-fluff view.
EDITORIAL OPINION - BASED ON THE CITED RESEARCH
“This is where Wi-Fi 7 starts to make practical sense: not for the logo, but because the port layout can actually carry multi-gig traffic end to end.”
Setup ease
9/10. The same approachable TP-Link workflow, with more networking choices because every port is multi-gig.
Planning allowance
$450. Indicative device-only planning allowance, not a live retailer quote.
03
Cons and watch-outs
What to verify.
Trade-offs and buying checks, not claims that a product is defective.
The 6GHz advantage needs compatible clients and falls away faster through walls.
A single router may still be the wrong answer for a large brick or multi-storey home.
On NBN 100 or slower, most of the performance premium is for local networking rather than internet speed.
Before buying, confirm exact ISP login, VLAN, BYO support and home-phone requirements. Wi-Fi coverage is never guaranteed from a floor-area claim alone.

For an RSP-supplied router, compare any hardware fee, required plan term, return obligation and locked provider features. For retail hardware, confirm Australian stock and the exact regional model.
