You probably do not need Wi-Fi 7 yet. Here is the honest breakdown for normal homes and where the upgrade really pays off.
Why it matters
Choosing networking equipment in 2024 is harder than it should be. The marketing material on the box is almost always wrong about coverage. Triband, quad-band, mesh, 6 GHz — there is a lot of noise.
Our advice: start with a wired test to know what your circuit actually delivers. Then pick equipment to match. A 600 Mbps plan does not need a $700 router. A 5 Gbps plan does.
What we are doing
This is the kind of thing we like to talk about publicly. Where we are early, we share the math. Where we are wrong, we say so. We would rather customers trust us to communicate honestly than wish away every problem.
"The best way to be trusted is to be trustworthy in small things first." — engineering team motto
