According to the "In-Depth Analysis Report on China's Home Router Market in 2026" published by Runto, despite having been on the market for four years, Wi-Fi 7 technology has failed to make significant inroads into the domestic home router market as anticipated. By 2026, Wi-Fi 7 routers are estimated to constitute only 25% of total sales, a figure that pales in comparison to the 55% market share held by Wi-Fi 6 models. The primary obstacle hindering the widespread adoption of Wi-Fi 7 routers is their high cost. These models are predominantly positioned in the mid-to-high-end segment, priced above 300 yuan. In contrast, Wi-Fi 6 routers span the core price range of 100-300 yuan, rendering them a more appealing choice for the average consumer.
