Is Wifi 6 still worth getting now that Wifi 7 is out?

trying to find the wifi 6 reasonable price reviews. I think above link can get you there. If your budget only allows this SD of only $60 I'm not saying it's a bad deal. I you want twice the speed and more future proof and your budget allows $140 I just went with one of these https://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus...toreId=5

This router has been cheaper before but we dont have time machines, and it has reviewed very well after they updated the housing/casing because the previous model of it would tend to overheat due to little ventilation.
After taking a closer look this seems to be the older model with the full hard plastic casing so it can overheat if kept in a low airflow area word of caution. Look for the AX21 1800 if you want the updated version.

I found this model pretty solid; I had one for years. I just upgraded to the same line but the AX3000 as I have 2.1 Gb service now. I also agree with the ASUS products generally being better, though you really have to think of your use case. I DO use the extra speed in my 2.1 Gb service, but I don't have many devices in use simultaneously and many of my devices are wired, so this budget router was the Golldilocks product for me.
I agree with TealThread549 generally, though if you're one of the many folks out there with 300 Mbps, 500, or 1 Gig service that are totally happy with that, this is a good router at a good price.
And yeah, forget about wifi 7

No, they dont have a mesh protocol in-between routers on these entry level products. It supports the mesh with extenders only, called One Mesh.
I'm also looking for a router. You have any thoughts of this versus the R6700AX?
It's about $35 used on Amazon.

Would you say the Walmart one is on par or better with any of these?
Unless you need one this very moment, just wait on the next $50 router deal we have had plenty of steals in this category every few weeks.

Fair enough. I need one now as my cable company is charging $15 a month for a router that I didn't ask for, so in the end it'll be the same. Appreciate your help!
