I upgraded to Wi-Fi 7 and it convinced me to finally ditch cable internet for fiber

The eero Max 7 is a lot larger than previous eero devices but still smaller than Netgear 's Netgear Orbi RBE973.

There’s room for multiple Ethernet ports at the back and the Max 7 has two 2.5 gigabit ports as well as two 10 gigabit internet ports.

Getting the new Wi-Fi 7 up and running was incredibly simple with the eero app walking you through the process.

One of the big draws of the eero Max 7 is its faster internet speeds.

With a premium mesh Wi-Fi system like the Max 7 , you want to ensure that you have right the internet speeds to truly take advantage of the extra power.

With my new internet service provider, I’m now paying $ 20 less each month for 8 gigabit fiber internet ($ 140 vs $ 120 ) with no data caps whatsoever.

The Outdoor 7 has been hanging out there for two weeks now and it hasn’t disconnected or had any other issues.

I initially thought that I’d see multi-gig speeds on all of my devices with the eero Max 7 hooked up to an 8 gig fiber connection.

But now, pretty much every device in my house is able to get a gigabit down without any issues.
