Eero's New Max 7 Router Promises Lightning Fast Wi-Fi 7 Speeds, But Carries a Steep Price Tag

Eero's Max 7 is its first Wi-Fi 7 mesh router, promising speeds up to 4.3Gbps and the ability to download a 4K movie in 10 secs.
The larger design accommodates more antennas, cooling, and 4 Ethernet ports (2 x 10Gbps, 2 x 2.5Gbps).
It supports 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands; backward compatible with earlier Wi-Fi versions.
A single router covers 2500 sq ft; takes advantage of Wi-Fi 7 features like wider channels and multi-link operation.
Costs a hefty $600 for one router, $1150 for two, $1700 for three. Early adopters may think it's worth it, but full Wi-Fi 7 utilization is still a couple years away.
