MSI Roamii BE Lite review: Wi-Fi 7-powered mesh networking without the 6 GHz band

MSI Roamii BE Lite placed on table.
MSI Roamii BE Lite: Specs

Wi-Fi specification: BE5000 (802.11be)
Number of antennas/removable: 4/No
Ports: 2.5 Gbps WAN input, two Gbps LAN connections
Processor/memory/storage: Quad-core 1.5GHz/2GB/256MB
Wi-Fi chip: Qualcomm IPQ5322
Peak 802.11be performance: 970.3 Mbps (at 15 feet)
Maximum range: 105 feet
Size: 9.6 x 4.8 x 4.8 inches
Estimated annual electricity cost: $26.91 (for router and satellite)

MSI’s Roamii BE Lite can be defined as much by what it has as by what it lacks. What you get is a dual-band Wi-Fi 7 mesh set that includes a 2.5 Gbps input, the latest upgrades to speed and reliability as well as an extra layer of security provided by Trend Micro software. What you give up is just as important and includes access to the top performing 6GHz band and the ability to connect with more than two wired devices unless you get a networking switch.
