My wife doesn't care much about the dozens of tech products I get in a month, but she insisted I set up Huawei's Wi-Fi Mesh X3 Pro router as soon as it showed up. That's because of the design of the router; most routers tend to be downright ugly, and while the best Wi-Fi 7 mesh systems like the Orbi 970 and Orbi 770 are designed with a modern aesthetic, they still end up looking like tech products, and don't really mesh with the decor of a house.
That isn't the case with Huawei's latest mesh router. The Wi-Fi Mesh X3 Pro looks exquisite, and honestly, you can't tell that it is a router. My wife and I made a game out of asking guests visiting our house over the last month to guess where the router was, and no one was able to identify it correctly — if anything, almost everyone thought it was a smart lamp (we do have a lot of those in the house).
