wifi 6 does not combine the bands. these routers do have the "capability" to switch between bands depending the signal integrity. In fact, my Wifi 4 nighthawk had this, so this isn't the same thing.
the massive throughput you are talking about is exactly what i was pointing out. wifi 7 COMBINES the bands, as in the device will communicate with all bands simultaneously.
"Additionally, Wi-Fi 7 will introduce Multi-Link Operation (MLO) technology, which allows devices to simultaneously send and receive data over multiple radio bands to create a single aggregated connection. This will not only provide faster throughput performance, but will also help reduce latency and allow data to flow unimpeded by network traffic or interference."

also wifi 7 hits a theoretical 48Gbps, not 12. did you even research anything before you starting typing? it took me 5 seconds to google this.
the router is NOT using both bands to communicate with devices simultaneously when using smart connect. the speeds are not additive, it's one or the other. Also, this technology is very poorly implemented. if you knew anything about networking, you would already know this, but you seem brand new. Considering you thought this was a Wifi 6 feature when it's been around since Wifi 4 seems pretty evident of what you think you know. humble yourself.
MLO is additive and is a completely different technology that cannot be back ported. I'm sure you have difficulty understanding that, but I'm not writing this for you, but more for people who have decent reading comprehension as to not be misinformed by you.
And no where on the internet does it state there are real world results of 12Gbps. I mean if it did, I'm sure you're ready to provide some references just like you did with you netgear kb article. Strange you didn't choose to put a reference for this, right?
good luck in life, you must have some real difficulties. why go around spreading misinformation is beyond me, but you do you.

Tons of deals to be had between now and then on a wifi 6 router that 95% of the general public will never notice the difference.
Electronic devices now are pricey!

Smart Connect is a feature that combines your NETGEAR router's WiFi bands into a single WiFi network name (SSID).
Your posting:
"it should combine all bands for use simultaneously for devices. that should in theory be what is needed to automatically balance speed v. range. for sure will be priced very premium."
So go sigh yourself, but yes MLO is the next generation of smart connect.
The advancement of throughput and bandwidth wont come from MLO but primarily from the new channel width of 320
As for the 48Gbps, as you mentioned those are theoretical and will never be hit even AX was capable of around 10Gbps yet the fastest we seen from any gear was around 2.5Gbps. The tests were with the only two wifi 7 routers currently out and the max they were capable of was 12Gbps.
My statement
"Wifi 7 is a game changer when it comes to throughput and bandwidth, being able to push up to 12Gbps from some real world tests is pretty amazing,"

HaLow! I had not heard of that. Thats absolutely brilliant for people who go outside and around the area listening to low bandwidth podcasts and music. Would love to have that super long range ability.

Proof:
https://www.smallnetbui
And as you can see in the above link "smart connect implementation was more than just switching between bands" "Smart Connect" split the 5 GHz band in two, added a second 5 GHz radio and allegedly intelligently assigned STAs to each radio to maximize throughput.
So yeah might want to work on your misinformation too, buddy!
As for real world result testing, LOLOL, enjoy the links:
https://www.spirent.com/blogs/wi-...plications (basically mentions 12gbps was achievable, but does not go into hard testing)
https://www.ispreview.c

Yeah enjoy that, no real world use data dude.

This is extremely powerful and will last 5 years easy.
