My experience with Wi-Fi 7 mesh systems from Asus so far has been frustratingly buggy.
The setup was straightforward, performance was top-notch on every band and at various distances, and this mesh system was near the top of the table in all my tests.

Google’s Nest Wifi Pro is a tri-band (2.4-GHz, 5-GHz, and 6-GHz) Wi-Fi 6E system that works via Google Home, and each router sports two 1-gigabit ports.
The Nest Wifi Pro came mid-table in raw speed at short, mid, and long range, and settings in the Home app are very bare-bones.
