Our Verdict

GL.iNet Slate AX (GL-AXT1800)

eero 7

The eero 7 and the GL.iNet Slate AX (GL-AXT1800) are both low-profile dual-band systems, but the eero uses the newer Wi-Fi 7 standard to achieve better speeds and range than the Slate. While the Slate AX offers two LAN ports compared to the eero 7's one, the eero's Ethernet ports are faster (2.5Gbps) than the GL.iNet's (1Gbps). While the eero 7 is a stationary mesh system, the Slate 7 is a compact travel router with more options for expanded storage, like a USB 3.0 port and a microSD slot.
