Fix the security issues like man in the middle attacks and vulnerabilities. When they have WPA4? Your hardware is great, but your firmware is two thumbs down.
I just bought the Ax12 yesterday Wi-Fi 6 now Wi-Fi 7 is coming out I feel pretty stupid now. Should I return this and get the new one Wi-Fi 7 coming out ?
No, it’s going to be a while before WiFi 7 becomes commonplace in new devices. Stick with WiFi 6 for now and upgrade in a couple of years if you are seeing performance drops. WiFi 6 is already plenty for most people, and you don’t want to wait that long before upgrading.
@@Hbilbo98 you know what is crazy I had my nighthawk ax12 sitting in the box sealed until now a month I just didn’t hook it up until now, my good god this thing is super fast I don’t know why I waited to install it “ me being lazy “ but I doubt I upgrade for a very very very long time these speeds I never ever had with my old nighthawk it’s been 9 years since my upgrade 🫢😅
It’s fun to think about, but hardly anything now readily supports WiFi 6, 6e it’s going to be at least 7 to 8 years down the road from now before Wifi 7 is the standard on a new tech item you purchase from the store, by then Wifi 15 should be available on home networking equipment lol 😂
Lol, in this year 90% new phones, laptops, tablets already/will have wifi 6 & many people already bought wifi 6 router to take advantage of their devices' wifi 6 capability. No need to wait 7-8 years for wifi 7 to be norm...maybe 2-4 years for majority people to use wifi 7
Love your products but may I recommend you incorporate your Nighthawk line with the durability of your enterprise class. We do alot of gaming and livestreaming so low latencies is top on our list. My home is basically a small office so our main router is usually overloaded as soon as it goes Live. I've blown up 3 main routers in the last 6 years.
One enthusiast to another, you sound like you're in the spot I was a couple years ago. Take a look at MikroTik, commit & get your hands dirty (the online community will help you out). I've never seen a router punch so high above it's weight, puts my Ubiquti gear to shame (I still use the APs though)
So many comments saying that WiFi 6 isn't fully in the market yet they are releasing WiFi 7. This is a new standard and early adopters can help to shoulder some of the upfront costs before it reaches the main market. There is also marketing that makes people aware of this new standard. Have you heard of 802.11ad? That was a standard between 802.11 ac and ax but it was not heavily developed and marketed so most people didn't know of its existence but there were products out there.
Netgear has lost their mind! I just looked at their orbi router Wi-Fi 6E and it is set up for 10 GB input yet yet the output is only 2.5 GB what's up with that? Have you lost your mind why would I put in 10 GB and then only output 2.5 GB? Someone in the engineering staff is smoking some really bad stuff
Hi, are you asking if your current Internet service subscription will work with Wi-Fi 7 devices/hardware? If yes, then the answer is yes. NETGEAR models that are equipped with Wi-Fi 7 will work with any internet service subscription. NETGEAR Team
Their new macbooks are wifi6e. I was dissapointed the new Iphone wassnt but i would assume its because when they were making them, it was too hard to get supply. Now they're most likely planning towards wifi 7 implementation.
I attempted to pre-order the new RS700S and the whole website is buggy and glitchy. I cannot update my billing address or payment information. The new unit is not supposed to release until May, so I hope the site gets back to working soon.
Hi Alonzo, our newest WiFi 7 model is the RS700 which is a stand alone router model. You can check it out on the link below for more info. www.netgear.com/home/wifi/routers/rs700/ NETGEAR Team
Hope everyone coordinates and moves quickly (hopefully this time…) to wifi 7 since this is such a huge upgrade. The last decade has been rather incremental improvements. Here’s hoping though
@cc.creationz I have it... it's crazy fast. I bought it mainly due to new house is much bigger than my previous home so coverage is fantastic. I opted for this over mesh.
your device has to be capable of wifi 7 . if it's not then it just runs at the speeds it's rated for . Ex iphone X is a 802.11.ac device so it's speeds won't pass 600mbps even though it's standard can go higher it's the limitation of the hardware.
@@intothebeyond8763 what about the other devices connected to wifi 7. Will all the other devices also get downgraded to wifi ac because iphone x is connected.
The wifi industry seems to be moving at a faster pace than the standards on the connected devices. Atleast 10 years period should lapse between two wifi standards. Why don't you focus on making existing standard more reliable, affordable?
@@Distress. Exactly. Router manufacturers limit the hardware on most models as a marketing. Unfortunately it doesn't work this way. The world will most definitely skip wifi 6 and 7 , some will upgrade to wifi 6e but majority will still be on wifi5 till 2030. So they should focus on wifi5 and having models with support for more connected devices and firmware updates.
@nrikhy27 huh? I just pointed out you can't improve wifi 5 that's wifi 7. The standard and routers are out. Its the phones and other devices that need to get with the times.
@@Distress. what makes you believe that improvement on an earlier wifi standard excludes improvement in hardware upgrades, better components, software updates for system stability, bug fixes, newer encryption( WPA3)?
Forget about Wi-Fi all devices need to start coming standardized with 2.5 GB ethernet ports and have either Thunderbolt 4 or USB for ports with drivers to support 10 gig ethernet adapters once you spend the time to install ethernet chords in your house it makes Wi-Fi look like dial-up internet from 1995

Make this the best comment we pay but always need security especially if you can modulate it with your preferences VPN , proxy and anit viruses

I’m sorry Turtle but you don’t know what you are talking about. Why bother commenting if you don’t understand what you are saying.

Sounds like you need enterprise level equipment like an L3 switch which is actively cooled.
Will you support VPN Clients (like WiredGuard) with Wifi7 products?
What about devices that support only wpa2 ?
Bring back the Live show feedback. So many questions

Also they're missing the point. This is always a problem when moving up a standard. I'm not really interested in speed improvements as much as the QoL
Iam still waiting for 802.11af to be picked up haven't heard anything about it in years..

Finally, a solution - Mediatek filogics, that promises stable connections even in challenging network environments
I agree bro, mediatek is doing so good
Can current optic fibers which suport wi fi 6 can support wi fi 7 too?
Or wi fi 7 requirest completly new optic fiber instalation and new cables?

I'm still waiting for apple to support WiFi6e before I upgrade. Currently in WiFi6 and all apple devices are still connecting to WiFi5
Their new macbooks are wifi6e. I was dissapointed the new Iphone wassnt but i would assume its because when they were making them, it was too hard to get supply. Now they're most likely planning towards wifi 7 implementation.

Hi @LouieGMDesign13, apologies for the delayed response. May we know if you are still having issues getting the RS700 pre-ordered?
NETGEAR Team
Can this act alone without a modern? More like 2-in-1 modern and router combination or will I need to purchase a modern too?

@NETGEAR that's awesome, once I receive it then I can connect my Orbi wifi6E to it. NICE!
Eight months later, and nothing is released yet
Hope everyone coordinates and moves quickly (hopefully this time…) to wifi 7 since this is such a huge upgrade. The last decade has been rather incremental improvements. Here’s hoping though
Much appreciated 😊
Are we trying to make WiFi the new Phone model? Replace it every year?
Already preordered the new Wi-Fi 7 router coming in aug
how is it?
@@cc.creationz it’s fantastic
@cc.creationz I have it... it's crazy fast. I bought it mainly due to new house is much bigger than my previous home so coverage is fantastic. I opted for this over mesh.
I just want to see 802.11af haven't heard anything about this standard in many years
Wi-fi7 will be amazing but we need some Wi-Fi7 compatible devices. Wi-Fi6e is just staring to get more compatible devices.
I already have an internetspeed of 8Gbit. WiFi 7 would be great with that
So there’s Asus routers already being released before Netgear.
Does wifi 7 fall back to lowest wifi standard for all devices when a device of lower wifi (say wifi 5) is connected?
your device has to be capable of wifi 7 . if it's not then it just runs at the speeds it's rated for . Ex iphone X is a 802.11.ac device so it's speeds won't pass 600mbps even though it's standard can go higher it's the limitation of the hardware.
@@intothebeyond8763 what about the other devices connected to wifi 7. Will all the other devices also get downgraded to wifi ac because iphone x is connected.
I really hope that the price is not outrageous like the orbi $1599 is way to much
My Orbi setup is fantastic......
So sad for you. Clearly, you're their target market.

You can't improve an existing standard. It's the device manufactures that need to improve on their end. Wifi7 is more reliable
@@Distress. Exactly. Router manufacturers limit the hardware on most models as a marketing. Unfortunately it doesn't work this way.

40 gb? I JUST WANT 1 GB WITH LOW TO NO STUTTERING, cool it can happen but i just want stability
Forget the 6, some homes have only recently moved to Wifi *5* !
Mediatek Wi-Fi 7 is the next big leap in wireless connectivity, offering faster speeds, lower latency, and better management of connections

what about wifi 10
Wow!
WiFi 7 is great and all, but it will be years before we see devices like phones that can actually use it.
Oneplus 11 supports wifi 7.
The new Pixel 8 pro is compatible with wifi 7 now too.
Affirmative action strikes again
GIVE IT A FEW MONTHS AND CAN GET WIFI 14
Yes absolutely true.
90% of devices don't have or come with WiFi 6. This is a waste of time, money and tech resources.
