Worth comparing29 of 79 listed here

A Wi-Fi 7 device uses two bands at the same time over one connection, instead of picking one and living with it.

Look at instead: whether your phone and laptop are Wi-Fi 7 — nothing older can use this

Lets the router hold separate conversations with several devices at once using different antenna streams.

Look at instead: the stream count on each radio — a 4×4 radio has twice the streams of a 2×2 to hand out

Nudges a device onto the faster band when it would otherwise settle on the slow one and stay there.

Look at instead: whether the router lets you split the bands into separate networks — some devices need that

A double-width channel that roughly doubles throughput when the airwaves are clear enough to sustain it.

Look at instead: whether the band has room for it — on 5 GHz that almost always means DFS

Wi-Fi 7's double-again channel width, available only on 6 GHz, where there is finally enough spectrum to fit it.

Look at instead: whether you own 6 GHz devices, and whether they will be in the same room as the router
