NETGEAR Nighthawk RS90
eero 7
The eero 7 is a better overall choice for most homes than the NETGEAR Nighthawk RS90. While both are dual-band Wi-Fi 7 routers, the eero offers more networking flexibility as an expandable mesh system with superior range. Each eero node includes two auto-sensing WAN/LAN ports rated at 2.5Gbps, while the NETGEAR is a standalone router with sub-par range and no mesh expandability. Its inclusion of four LAN ports gives you more immediate hardwired connections than a single eero node, but each of its LAN ports are capped at 1Gbps, making the RS90 ill-suited for a multi-gigabit internet plan.
