Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ Tri-band WiFi 7 with 6 GHz band, rated up to 9.3 Gbps across all three radios
  • ✓ 2.5 Gig WAN port pairs with multi-gig cable or fiber plans out of the box
  • ✓ Two 2.5 Gig plus two 1 Gig LAN ports for wired PCs, NAS, or a switch
  • ✓ 320 MHz channels handle up to 100 connected devices per NETGEAR's spec

Cons

  • ✗ Certified Refurbished unit, not new: cosmetic wear and a shorter warranty window
  • ✗ 2,500 sq. ft. coverage caps it at small-to-midsize homes, not multi-floor sprawl
  • ✗ No built-in modem, so cable or fiber users still need a separate 2.5 Gbps modem
  • ✗ Only four LAN ports total, tight for a wired gaming or homelab setup
