Our verdict
The MR70X is Mercusys' value Wi-Fi 6 router, delivering AX1800 speeds (1201 Mbps on 5GHz, 574 Mbps on 2.4GHz) with Gigabit ports and modern WPA3 security at a budget price. OFDMA and MU-MIMO make it a sensible upgrade for homes juggling phones, laptops and smart devices on a fibre plan. Four antennas aid coverage, though range in large or multi-floor homes is only average. For buyers wanting Wi-Fi 6 without overspending, it is a strong entry point.
