Great for the price, but don't expect too much.

• Price
• 2.5GbE RJ45 port
• 6GHz band
• No Access Point mode

The cheapest future proof wifi 7 router on the market at the moment. Definitely recommended for the price. I expected a little more from it myself, the reason why I will return it is that there is no AP mode and it is therefore very difficult to address the rest of my network such as smart home devices and speakers. The speed is also very inconsistent, with iperf (local speed test server) it reaches speeds of 870Mbps one second and 1.5Gbps the next and in between it keeps changing every second. My old wifi 6 AP keeps sending at the maximum speed with no variation (as it should be). This gives me the feeling that the da processor is struggling with too high speeds. It shows a *connection speed* of 2400Mbps on a wifi 6E iPhone 15 Pro and 3.8Gbps on an Intel wifi 7 computer chip with MLO. But higher than 1.6Gbps even with 320Mhz channels I have never seen. The other RJ-45 ports also turned out to be just 1Gbps and not 2.5 Like the WAN port.
I personally would like to get a constant 1.5Gbps on wifi 6E devices and a 2.5Gbps on my wifi7 devices, so I think I will have to find another slightly more expensive solution for this.
Note! You have to choose between either 2.4GHz and 5GHz or 2.4GHz and 5GHz channels, you can't use them all and also not 5 and 6 at the same time for MLO e.g.
