This is the best summary I could come up with:

Max 7 has support for 2.4, 5 and 6 GHz radio bands, and each promises double the wireless throughput of the existing eero Pro 6e models, with a larger range of coverage, too, thanks in part to a brand new physical design optimized from top to bottom for better performance.

In terms of smart home compatibility, the eero Max 7 covers a lot of ground, too, including Matter, Thread and Zigbee support.

Amazon tells me that the new design focused a lot on delivering improved thermals for maximum performance, as well as distancing the antennas as much as possible from metal within the case to minimize the potential for interference.

I live in a roughly 100-year old, three-story semi-detached house that’s probably around 2,500 square feet max when you include the basement, so technically I probably could get away with just one, but I’ve always used a three-point setup in past (I like having the backyard covered, too).

Once I return to a personal setup, I may mix the Pro 6 and Max 7 units, since Amazon says both will perform to the best of their respective abilities even in a hybrid network consisting of a variety of eero devices.

The eero Max 7 is definitely a step change in terms of ambition, power and performance – but it manages to deliver excellent results in all of those areas without compromising on ease-of-use.
