Our Verdict

GL.iNet Beryl AX (GL-MT3000)

eero 6

The GL.iNet Beryl AX (GL-MT3000) and the eero 6 are dual-band Wi-Fi 6 routers. The eero is designed to be as easy to use as possible, while the GL.iNet is designed to be extremely configurable. The two deliver very similar speed and range performance, but we tested the eero in a dual mesh configuration, and the GL.iNet as a standalone router since it doesn't have any native mesh functionality. The eero is the better choice for a plug-and-play solution that's easily expandable with more units for better range, while the GL.iNet is the better choice for tinkerers and enthusiasts.
