Wi-Fi 7 router (BE series)
The genuine advance in Wi-Fi 7 is not the headline throughput, it is Multi-Link Operation, which lets a device hold two bands at once and cuts the latency spikes that ruin online play on wireless.
- Best for
- A room you cannot run a cable to, where wireless has to be good rather than adequate.
- Watch out
- Your PC needs a Wi-Fi 7 adapter to get any of this, and the 6 GHz band barely passes through walls. A cheap router with a good cable run beats an expensive router across the house.
