Zyxel WiFi 7 BE11000
Score: 84/100
TP-Link EAP723
Score: 85/100Rankings
The TP-Link EAP723 is a ceiling-mount Wi-Fi 7 AP offering up to 5 Gbps combined throughput and 2.5 G PoE+ connectivity for high-density environments. Its dual-band design omits the 6 GHz band and it does not include a PoE injector, which may limit some installations. Best suited for businesses and large homes that need future-proof Wi-Fi 7 performance with centralized Omada management.
The Zyxel NWA130BE provides tri-band Wi-Fi 7 performance with up to 11 Gbps aggregate throughput, dual 2.5 G Ethernet ports, and advanced RF filtering. Its 2×2 MIMO design and lack of an included power adapter limit per-client speeds and ease of installation. Best for SMBs and classrooms looking to adopt Wi-Fi 7 without extensive cabling upgrades.

Professional reviewers describe the NWA130BE as a solid, low-cost entry into Wi-Fi 7, praising its real-world speeds, dual 2.5 G Ethernet ports, and the flexibility of NebulaFlex management. They also note the inherent limitations of a 2×2 MIMO design, the lack of an included power adapter, and the need for professional installation due to its ceiling-mount form factor.
Professional reviewers commend the EAP723 for its future-proof Wi-Fi 7 performance, ultra-low latency, and robust Omada cloud management, noting that its slim ceiling form factor and high client capacity make it ideal for dense office, classroom, or hotel deployments, though they point out the missing 6 GHz band as a limitation.
Consumer sentiment is overwhelmingly positive based on retailer scores, with users highlighting the high speed, easy PoE installation, and unobtrusive ceiling design, but the scarcity of detailed user reviews leaves some uncertainty about long-term reliability.
