Is Wi-Fi 7 worth it on this router?

Only if you have Wi-Fi 7 devices. Older phones and laptops will run at Wi-Fi 6 or 5 speeds, though the wired ports still help.

How does it compare with the Netgear Nighthawk RS700?

The ASUS offers more LAN ports and AiMesh support; the Netgear focuses on raw throughput and a simpler app. Choose ASUS for wired devices and mesh.

Yes. It supports AiMesh, so it can pair with other compatible ASUS routers to extend coverage.

It gives clean, fast channels for Wi-Fi 7 devices, but its range is shorter than 5 GHz, so keep it in the same room for best results.

Yes, one USB port for shared storage or mobile tethering.

It works, but its size and feature depth are more than most small homes need. A smaller Wi-Fi 6 router would cover a one-bedroom fine.
