A note about WiFi 7
There is a lot of hype around about WiFi 7 routers and access points. Be careful and fully read all the specifications. There are 3 frequency bands used by routers, 2.4, 5 and 6 GHz. Routers with WiFi 4, 5 & 6 must use 2.4 & 5 GHz bands. WiFi 6E must use 2.4, 5 and 6 GHz bands. WiFi 7 routers use 2.4 & 5 GHz and can also use 6 GHz, but it’s not mandatory like WiFi 6E routers. If you want the best speed you do need to use the 6 GHz band.
Another thing to consider is WiFi 7 supports MLO (Multi-Link Operation), but a lot of routers advertised do not seem to list it in their specifications.
