I'd like to keep the dimensions on the picture for later refactoring without changing the flow of the page.

I skimmed over the tables again without reading the text properly, and at first glance it seems like we're saying M7310 does work in the US, as opposed to the M7350.

Maybe this can be solved with a third col for "price range", or we let the user figure it out. After all if the TP-Link does miraculously end up being sold for 5 USD I think there's no reason not to get it

I ended up changing the table heading to "Recommended region", with the idea being we don't want to make this page too information-dense. The individual device pages can get into specific bands, while this page is meant to quickly steer users to which device to look for in their location.

These devices have been extensively tested by the core developers and are widely used. We recommend running Rayhunter on one of these devices if you can.

the image doesn't work well in dark mode

Individual device pages can go into detail about specific bands and
roaming. This page is primarily for steering users towards which device
to buy, and we only want to recommend devices that are affordable in
their region.
