Our Verdict
eero Pro 7
GL.iNet Slate 7 (GL-BE3600)
The eero Pro 7 and the GL.iNet Slate 7 (GL-BE3600) are two Wi-Fi 7 routers with entirely different use cases. The eero is a tri-band mesh system with a 6GHz band, faster 5Gbps WAN port and better range for larger spaces, making it a prime choice for multi-level homes and newer devices. The GL.iNet is a dual-band travel router with a compact design and versatile USB port. While it lacks the 6GHz band and far-reaching coverage of the eero, it packs similar wireless speeds and a bundle of utilities into a pocket-sized chassis, making it a better option for travellers seeking a portable network solution.
