Our Verdict
TP-Link Archer BE700
eero 7
The TP-Link Archer BE700 is a tri-band Wi-Fi 7 router, while the eero 7 is a dual-band Wi-Fi 7 router that lacks a 6GHz band. The former is a standalone router while the latter is designed for use in a mesh system. The TP-Link delivers significantly better speeds and range, thanks in large part to its 6GHz band. That said, the eero 7 is significantly smaller and has an aesthetic that's less likely to stick out.
