Independent testing
How much independent testing exists for each wi-fi router
Of the 8 wi-fi routers we track, 8 have been physically measured by at least one independent lab. Below is every one, ordered by how much independent hands-on evidence stands behind it — densest first.
A coverage record, not a ranking of which is best.
| Product | Independent labs | Metrics measured | Outlets on record |
|---|---|---|---|
| Amazon eero Max 7 | 2 | 6 | 2 |
| Amazon eero Pro 6E | 2 | 6 | 2 |
| Netgear Nighthawk RAXE500 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
| TP-Link Archer BE800 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
| Google Nest Wifi Pro | 1 | 4 | 2 |
| TP-Link Deco XE75 | 1 | 4 | 2 |
| ASUS ZenWiFi BT8 | 1 | 2 | 1 |
| TP-Link Archer AXE75 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
Each figure is a count of what independent testers actually did — how we count. A low count means little independent evidence has been gathered yet, never that a product is worse. See also the Wi-Fi Routers buying guide and the reviewers we cite.
