Wi-Fi 7 with 4096-QAM modulation packs more data into each channel, giving compatible devices a speed boost. The 2.5 Gigabit WAN port accepts connections faster than 1 Gbit/s, and the second 2.5G port lets you wire a PC or NAS at the same speed. A USB 3.0 port shares an external drive across the network.
Homes replacing an older Wi-Fi 5 or Wi-Fi 6 router on a fast internet plan. Wi-Fi 7 also works with older devices. EasyMesh lets you add other EasyMesh routers or extenders, and the VPN server gives access to the home network from outside.
