Verdict

The Huawei WiFi AX3 (WS7200) Quad-Core is a high-performance Wi-Fi 6 Plus router powered by a 1.4 GHz Gigahome CPU with 256MB of RAM, supporting theoretical speeds up to 3000 Mbps (2402 Mbps on 5GHz and 574 Mbps on 2.4GHz). It features 160 MHz bandwidth support, four high-gain antennas with independent power amplifiers, and adaptive WAN/LAN gigabit ports that allow for blind insertion. Main pros include its highly affordable price point for a Wi-Fi 6 device, one-tap NFC pairing for guest access, and support for HarmonyOS Mesh+ to expand home coverage seamlessly. However, notable cons include the lack of a USB port for storage or print sharing, antennas that are not fully adjustable, and a limited number of physical LAN ports for advanced wired setups.
