As someone with professional reasons to be interested in Wi-Fi 7, it's been a really weird ride. At home I'm still leaning on a consumer 802.11ac (sorry, "Wi-Fi 5") router that I bought in late 2016. I'm very much itching to upgrade to the latest and greatest. The big sign I've been waiting for is solid availability of commercial/enterprise Wi-Fi 7 access points, because I assume that the customer base for that product category demands a baseline of maturity/stability that I wish applied to consumer-grade products. But it's been frustrating. The norm that I've seen thus far has been for every goddamned AP vendor on the planet to put up a painfully condescending "What is Wi-Fi 7?" page (with an obligatory "cars driving on a wider highway" analogy, never mind that 320 MHz was introduced with Wi-Fi 6E) and paper-launch an AP product. I gather that Ubiquiti is shipping (or at least about to ship) a surprisingly midrange product for this early in a new tech generation, and Zyxel has a higher-end one that can currently only be bought from what looks like a scalper for about $250 over the intended MSRP. At some level, I was already sold on Wi-Fi 7 a year ago. I just wish someone could actually fucking deliver it as something other than a $1500 consumer mesh bundle.
