The UniFi U7 Pro that I bought was ~$200. For that money, it upgraded my network from WiFi 6 to WiFi 7, so now the 6E devices that I have are noticeably faster (since I didn't have 6E before), and my network is future-proofed for WiFi 7. It seemed like an easy win for me, so I disagree with your assessment.
You also don't need multi-gigabit internet to have a NAS that you want to connect to over the local network.
- paxys 3y agoYou can get 6E router for <$100. Sure future proofing may be a valid argument in some cases, but the vast majority of users simply do not need to spend that extra money.
- coder543 3y agoI checked Amazon, and the cheapest one I saw was ~$140, not <$100. I saw WiFi 6 (not 6E) options for <$100. Spending $200 now means that I don't have to spend $140 now and $140 again in two to three years.
