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.

My iSP had an outage at which point it bricked itself and even a hard reboot wouldn't make it work. Lesson learned go with a reputable name brand (Asus) as many have mentioned.
But for real, why does this thing have so many antennas lmao. CYBORG INTERWEB DARKNET HAXXOR vibe must be their target market (i. e. 17 yr old boys)
I will say getting 3 of these and using in mesh mode would likely smoke anything in the $600 range, handily. Hell I dropped my $1400+ Unifi setup for a Linksys 6E mesh system that made the Unifi setup seem junky

When I enable the OpenVPN(NordVPN) function in the firmware, both's speeds are throttling around 50Mbps due to a slow CPU.
So, looking for a router with a fast CPU to run OpenVPN without speed throttling.
Does this have a good CPU? If not, any recommended router for my purpose?

As for mesh this does not work with mesh units using mesh, but if you got a hardwire to the location you can run it as an Access Point along with TP-Link Mesh or other TP-Link routers. Its surprising to some but common, how many times high end consumer beats out more business oriented hardware.

This router is a better version of the Asus AXE11000 if you want a more fair comparison.
