Wi-Fi 7 router market developments
Overview
The Wi-Fi 7 router market continues to evolve through high-end performance testing, retail discounting, and new service integrations.
In Germany, performance testing of fiber-optic routers has highlighted high-speed capabilities. The TP-Link Archer BE900 and Archer GE800 received ‘Very Good’ ratings for WLAN speeds and LAN ports, though they were noted for high power consumption. The Fritz!Box 5690 Pro also earned a ‘Very Good’ rating for its modem and NAS capabilities, while the Fritz!Box 5530 Fiber received a ‘Good’ rating for its low power consumption despite limited connectivity.
Retail activity in Japan shows significant discounts on various hardware. Notable deals include the TP-Link Archer BE700, which offers speeds up to 11,582Mbps on the 6GHz band, Xiaomi BE3600 Pro mesh router sets, and the ASUS TUF Gaming BE9400, which features specialized gaming LAN ports and advanced cooling.
Competition in the entry-level and mid-range segments remains intense. TP-Link has introduced the Archer BE670, a tri-band model with 10Gbps ports and Multi-Link Operation (MLO) support, and is preparing the Archer BE220W. In Japan, Elecom released the compact WRC-BE36GS, which utilizes 1Gbps ports and includes physical switches for mode switching.
In Greece, Telekom has launched the Fiber Router 7, providing Wi-Fi 7 technology free of charge with fiber-to-the-home connections. To improve coverage, the company introduced ‘Mesh Power WiFi’, a service developed with Comcast Technology Solutions that dynamically adapts to home layouts. Users can manage these networks via the Telekom App, which provides remote control, guest access, and security tools like parental controls.
