With Wi-Fi 7 products coming out fast and furious, there’s an opportunity to outfit a network on the cheap by using a budget Wi-Fi 6E router, like Tenda’s RX27 Pro. Basic and minimalist, this Wi-Fi 6E router may have a nondescript design and cheap plastics, but it features a simple setup and control app as well as an excellent networking diagnostic routine. Capable of surprisingly strong throughput at mid-distances, the RX27 Pro failed to impress close up.
