Contra
- Power slightly below my expectations. But not bad for all that
Super fast, easy to use
Much better and more modern than the Init7 recommended Zyxel AX7501-B0 for Fiber7. Plug and play with the 10Gbps plan (P2P). The WiFi signal easily covers my apartment + balcony now. Getting 1-2 Gbps speeds with a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra over WiFi 7 MLO, 1-1.5Gbps with an iPhone 16 Pro. The mobile app and firmware were buggy at first but have improved via updates, it’s been reliable for months now.
Note: I had to return a defective device 3 months after purchase as WiFi suddenly stopped working. I've been using a new one for more than a year, it’s solid.Pro
