Your router is the hallway. Your ISP is the front door. And no matter how wide the hallway is, if the door only opens this far, it doesn't matter. At all. The router upgrade scam has been explained in as simple a way as possible. Router companies are unable to promise faster internet. They cannot exceed your ISP's speed limit. So they shifted their marketing to 'faster Wi-Fi' - technically true in a lab, legally defensible in a courtroom, and completely useless to you at home. The technology behind Wi-Fi 7 is genuine. While it can be beneficial, it's only useful if you have 15+ devices running simultaneously, a large home with dead zones, and a fast ISP plan. Most people do not have any of those three things. The actual solution is a free phone call to your ISP. Ask what speed you are actually getting compared to what you are paying for. Studies show that a significant number of customers are being underserved, and most have no idea. This video walks you through the complete decision tree so you never overpay again.
