How to choose
Match rated coverage to floor area
Compare the coverage each maker gives with the floor area you want covered: 1,500 sq ft for the eero 6, 3,500 sq ft for the Tenda Nova MW5G, 4,400 sq ft for the Google Nest Wifi, 5,500 sq ft for the Deco XE75 Pro, and 6,000 sq ft for the Orbi 360 Series. These are the makers' own ratings. A 3-pack system puts a unit in more spots than a 1-pack system, while a 2-pack system sits between them.
Wi-Fi standard and bands
Wi-Fi 6, WiFi 6E, and WiFi 7 are the standards named in this list. The eero 6 uses Wi-Fi 6. The Deco XE75 Pro uses WiFi 6E with a 6 GHz band that can work as a backhaul between nodes. The Orbi 360 Series uses WiFi 7 with dual-band technology and Enhanced Backhaul. A newer standard and an extra band can help when many devices share one network, but the rated coverage and pack size still decide how far the network reaches.
App control and wired connections
Each pick here offers app control: the eero app, the Deco app, the Nest Wifi app, the Orbi app, and the Tenda Wi-Fi app. App control covers setup and network management from a phone. For wired devices, the Deco XE75 Pro gives one 2.5 Gbps WAN/LAN port and two 1 Gbps LAN ports, the Nest Wifi includes Ethernet ports on each router, and the Orbi 360 Series gives a 2.5 Gig port. Place the main router by the modem, since each system connects through it.
