- Users who want to scale coverage with AiMesh nodes without sacrificing WiFi 7 performance.
Trade-offs
- Small apartments or single rooms where standard WiFi 6 routers provide sufficient range and speed.
- Budget-conscious buyers — the 10G ports and WiFi 7 specification command a premium price.
- Setups without gigabit or multi-gigabit wired devices, where the 10G and four 2.5G ports sit unused.
- Users who do not need advanced segmentation and security; Guest Network Pro and AiProtection Pro features are unnecessary for basic home browsing.
