They call it Wifi 7, but there's no support for the 6GHz band. Not sure what the point of getting this router is then.

Nice call-out. It's very frustrating that WiFi 7 seems to have multiple definitions to different companies. It strikes me as some form of duplicity in calling the top line feature "WiFi 7" without also mentioning the lack of important other features which may constitute the setup being functionally slower than someone's current setup.

Very confusing to the consumer. Seems to me that the major thing to look for is support for 2.4/5/6 GHz bands with MLO. Without all of those, together, it is probably that one would be better off sticking to their current WiFi 6 or 6e setups. Especially given the typical high prices on "WiFi 7" offerings.

Probably the MLO and the preamble puncturing. 6Ghz only works if you're in the same room as the router, and doesn't help unless you're actively using more bandwidth than is available on 5Ghz. And if you're in the same room, might as well just use Ethernet

In my immediate area, the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands are completely congested. So, the benefit of 6 GHz for now is an open lane. Although, just like any highway, it's only a matter of time that also fills up. 😀 Agreed that the higher frequency means that the signal doesn't travel as far. But, having devices tethered to Ethernet while in a family room, for example, isn't really convenient for my specific use case.

IMHO, all these standards (Wifi, Bluetooth, HDMI, usb, etc..) are getting more confusing on purpose. I believe, the manufacturers pushed the entities develping these standards to remove most of the restrictions so they can advertise their products as complaint with minimal upgrades. Most customers don't/can't research enough before buying.

Does anyone know if IoT network support means IoT devices don't have access to rest of network, but the rest of the network does access to IoT devices?
