The Huawei X3 Pro does not look like a router at first glance. While many modern routers are ugly or large boxes with antennas sticking out of them, Huawei has taken a different approach with the X3 Pro, which also supports Wi-Fi 7 connectivity and mesh network capabilities via stylish-looking satellites.
I prefer a rectangular metal box. It’s even better if it can be mounted in a mini rack.
Unfortunately metal boxes are pretty good at keeping the wifi in. Those antenna arrays aren’t just for show. I prefer thin, featureless wall/ceiling mountable panels :)
I use separate WiFi access points. A single access point built into a router doesn’t cover a very large area if you want high speed on 5 or 6 GHz.
