WIFI 7 hardware itself has been in distribution channels since last year
WIFI7 won't really offer improvements unless clients/IoT catch on faster. WIFI6 has already proven most developers favor cost and will opt for cheaper hardware when creating products. A lot of the IoT space still operates on N/AC for example.
Dual band with the latest hardware release will be favored @ lower price points. Stuff like 6Ghz and UNII-4 5G left to the waste side
Price isn't bad for being quad band.. 4x 6715 + 4912 main CPU. Gen 2 AX BCM design. Also has 10G + SFP.. Impressive.. makes ASUS look insanely overpriced, but lets be honest, you're paying for the SW/stability on their end.
Looks like it has total of 6, not including one for wan. If you look at the specs sheet. There is 4 x gigabit, 2 x 10 Gbps (wan/lan), and 1 x 2.5 Gbps (Wan/Lan)
Just buy a cheap switch.. Don't see the issue.

While 6E brings with it some nice features in terms of congestion/traffic management, and while the 6Ghz spectrum will be less congested by other signals (like BlueTooth and other IR signals, and things like microwave ovens), it will have a tough time getting through multiple layers of obstructions, so it will be really important to locate a 6E router centrally, and as unobstructed as possible.
Also, it helps to create a VLAN for just your IoT devices on 2.4Ghz Wireless AC if possible, as that will reduce congestion. Even better if you can keep your old router, throw it in Access Point mode, set it to 2.4Ghz ONLY, and then connect your IoT devices just to that Access Point. Not everyone can do that, though.

High 6ghz on the later end of the spectrum is indeed an issue without boosting amperage past FCC limitation.
A lot of the problems with 6ghz spectrum stem from limited power output via HW.. Nothing more.
ASUS AXE16000 5.955-7.025 GHz 489 mW
ASUS AXE11000 (Gen 1 HW) 6.115-7.095 GHz 716 mW
It's less to do with 6ghz and more to do with power outputs, granted youre not wrong.. the higher the spectrum, the less penetration.. its just not as big as emphasized here
Power output is a major culprit.

No offense, but if these were at a 1W limit (same as high spectrum unii-3), there wouldn't be much issue relatively speaking. Zero/low interference would favor the 6-7ghz spectrum over a congested 5ghz unii1 (low 5G) + unii-3 (high 5G) band.

Is there a reason for less power on 6 Ghz? Is it the standard that is restricting or manufactures not maxing out?

I don't know. AXE11000 with Gen 1 radios (2018) has higher output than the Broadcom gen 2 AX stuff that was released last year (Nov 2021)
For UNII-1 and UNII-3 there's a 1W FCC limit in the US. I am not sure why Gen 2 BCM products are sub 500mW in the 6Ghz+ Range. Low and high 5GHZ share 1W limit on stuff like GT-AX6000.
There's newer UNII-4 products (high 5ghz/basically 6ghz) that are well over the 1W limit into 3-4W range in between...(No FCC limit?) But unii-4 (5.8-5.9ghz) has the same issue as 6ghz.. Lack of supported clients.
A lot of brands are taking advantage of high 5ghz/low 6ghz unii4 +unii5 spectrum for wireless backhaul. It works fine as interference is a non factor if you're an early adopter into this space. Lack of USER end clients won't really influence these Mesh platforms for a bit.
I'm convinced a lot of people don't own these products or have no experience with 6Ghz. The low 6ghz spectrum works fine on stuff like AXE11000, but 6ghz in general lacks user end client support.
That's not saying low 5ghz doesn't put out more range, but interference will destroy SNR. It's a trade off unless you're fairly secluded from neighbors.
You're really better off just buying the latest dual band solutions with updated hardware as of late 2022. Again, IoT/Developers favor older HW for cost centric reasons. Most products have diminishing returns.. Why does your Smart TV need over 300mbps? Just an example.
Lets be honest... If you're buying this router, its mainly for the two 5GHz bands and or WL backhaul purposes
