Sorry guys but I have to disagree with your review of the Asus RT-BE96U being the best. I have been working with this router since its release day and to date they have not addressed the buggiest firmware ever. Biggest issue is the need to reboot it at least once every 2 weeks or it looses its 6G network. When you reboot it your devices will not reconnect because it will tell you that your Wi-Fi passwords are incorrect. This issue forces you to go back into the firmware add a character to the end of all your network passwords apply it then go back and delete that added character and apply the settings again. It is insane that Asus has not been able to correct this issue and have been extremely slow with firmware updates having only released 2 since its introduction. Until they correct these issues I think you need to reassess the rating on the RT-BE96U.

I just came here to look for recommendations for home Wi-Fi routers given the absolute FLOOD of press that TP-Link has gotten recently about the horrific security problems that their products have. This article was updated to "Best Wi-Fi 7 routers of 2024: The future of Wi-Fi is here" and the update is from November 2024, just a few weeks ago. If I can't put some other software on it, then it's getting the hammer if it's not too late to return it.

So imagine my disgust when I find that three out of top six (half!) of the recommended routers are TP-Link? No, really -- try to imagine it. Apparently what isn't mentioned in these reviews is that TP-Link's high bandwidth is a reference to the rate of CVEs that they generate, rather than their data transfer abilities.

Given that this article was just updated weeks ago, how is it not mentioned (or found) that these things are such sh!t that they're considering banning them, and that you're STILL recommending them? While it MAY be the case that there's less known about the newest routers, their history SHOULD make them suspect, and at the least, should get a (dis)honorable mention in product reviews.

You owe it to your readers to either address this directly or to just pull this whole (sponsored?) article immediately.

I understand why you're upset but we've been working closely and reviewing TP-Link products for years and during all that time, we've never had any problems and they routinely receive firmware updates and security patches. I used the TP-Link Deco XE75 for the last few years before recently switching to the Eero Max 7.

The reason TP-Link has so many spots on this list is because they were the first to release a mesh Wi-Fi system with Wi-Fi 7 and then followed that up with multiple mid-range and budget options, both for mesh and for traditional routers. Netgear is a close second with options to choose from but a lot of other networking companies just don't have that many models available at different price points. Take eero for example, it only has one Wi-Fi 7 model at the moment.

If you're looking for an alternative, Netgear is your best bet performance wise but you're going to pay top price for an Orbi mesh router with Wi-Fi 7. From there, Asus is slightly cheaper but they usually only offer their mesh routers in two packs. They do have quite a few traditional routers with Wi-Fi 7 though. You could also take a look at Ubiquiti and Cisco but we don't review their routers as they are more geared towards prosumers and enterprise customers and our focus is on the average consumer. Most of the routers we review you could walk into a brick and mortar store like Best Buy to purchase.

We're following the TP-Link ban very closely and will take the appropriate action if and when it comes into effect. Until then, we're still going to recommend them as no other company gives you the same level of performance and choice at the price point TP-Link does.
