Description
With the Acer Wave 7 mesh router, you can enjoy WiFi 7. This router works on its own, but you can create a mesh system by adding multiple units. This ensures you get lightning-fast internet throughout your home without relying on WiFi repeaters. Thanks to Multi-Link Operation, WiFi devices are connected to multiple frequencies at the same time. You can reach higher speeds as a result, because it distributes web traffic. Hybrid QoS lets you prioritize certain devices. That way, you can make important video calls without lags. Even if other devices use a lot of internet. The maximum WiFi speed is 6400Mbps.

The cheapest future proof wifi 7 router on the market at the moment. Definitely recommended for the price. I expected a little more from it myself, the reason why I will return it is that there is no AP mode and it is therefore very difficult to address the rest of my network such as smart home devices and speakers. The speed is also very inconsistent, with iperf (local speed test server) it reaches speeds of 870Mbps one second and 1.5Gbps the next and in between it keeps changing every second. My old wifi 6 AP keeps sending at the maximum speed with no variation (as it should be). This gives me the feeling that the da processor is struggling with too high speeds. It shows a *connection speed* of 2400Mbps on a wifi 6E iPhone 15 Pro and 3.8Gbps on an Intel wifi 7 computer chip with MLO. But higher than 1.6Gbps even with 320Mhz channels I have never seen. The other RJ-45 ports also turned out to be just 1Gbps and not 2.5 Like the WAN port. I personally would like to get a constant 1.5Gbps on wifi 6E devices and a 2.5Gbps on my wifi7 devices, so I think I will have to find another slightly more expensive solution for this. Note! You have to choose between either 2.4GHz and 5GHz or 2.4GHz and 5GHz channels, you can't use them all and also not 5 and 6 at the same time for MLO e.g.
