Our Verdict
TP-Link Archer AXE75
NETGEAR Nighthawk RS300
The TP-Link Archer AXE75 and NETGEAR Nighthawk RS300 are standalone tri-band routers. While both have access to the 2.4GHz, the 5GHz, and the 6GHz bands, the NETGEAR model is Wi-Fi 7 capable, resulting in faster speeds than the Wi-Fi 6E TP-Link model. Overall, the NETGEAR is the better choice for both large and small environments, as it performs better over short and long ranges, offering much faster speeds that are well-suited for a multi-gigabit internet connection.
