Moving from Deco S4 mesh system. After recent nbn upgrade, it looks like my router cannot be used to access top speeds.

Looking for advice.

Thanks.

Someone here said it had bad WiFi Performance, but YMMV

  Thank you. Strange, it had really good reviews online.

    I wouldn't trust a single anecdote about performance, we don't know if they were on a convoluted band or had some other configuration issue. Which generally most of the time is the case.

FWIW: I recently bought this and it seems to have really good WiFi performance. Getting 2.4Gbps link speeds through walls on 6ghz links, and much better 5ghz than my old router.

  Really. I can give it a shot then. Else, will return.

If you don't have a use for Wifi 7, buy the flint 2, whcih is cheaper and has better Wifi performance.

  My current plan has been upgraded to 750mbps. But my router (Deco S4) is not compatible.
  
  My only plan to go for Wifi 7 is future proofing, when there is another upgrade in future.
  
  What are your thoughts on that?

    Flint 2 will easily do that speed. Depends on the devices you are connecting, are they Wifi 7?

      No Wifi 7 devices yet.
