Drawn from the published specifications and what else you have to buy. Not a lab score.

• Local control without a phone-brand account in the middle of every automation.
• Low published power draw and a Gigabit port.
• Matter over Wi-Fi does not require the extra radio. Thread does.

• No built-in Thread or Zigbee. Budget Connect ZBT-2 or an existing border router.
• No built-in Wi-Fi. It wants an Ethernet drop.
• You maintain updates, backups, and integrations yourself.

A router can be compared with another router. It cannot be compared with a lock, a bulb, or a speaker.
