What to know before buying

The up-to-9.7Gbps figure is a combined tri-band speed claim, not an individual-device throughput promise. The 6 GHz band and listed Wi-Fi 7 channel and MLO features require compatible clients. The stated coverage is a listing claim, not a guarantee for every home layout.

Who is it for?

A good fit for

Homes with a multi-gigabit internet connection and several wired devices that can use 2.5 Gbps LAN.
Wi-Fi 7 households looking for tri-band connectivity, including a 6 GHz band for compatible devices.
Users who want router-level VPN client or server options and app or web management.

Less suited to

Buyers who require a 10 Gbps LAN port, since the listed 10 Gbps port is WAN and LAN ports are 2.5 Gbps.
Households expecting the 9.7 Gbps combined rating or stated coverage as guaranteed performance in their own layout.

Customer feedback describes the router positively for quality, value, range and compatibility, but reports mixed experiences with connectivity, signal strength, speed and reboot cycles. Those mixed reports matter for buyers relying on consistent wireless performance. The listed multi-gigabit ports and Wi-Fi 7 features describe the configuration, not a guarantee that every home will see the advertised speeds or coverage.
