Please tell me that's an enterprise product.

Please tell me that's an enterprise product.

Yeah. No. It's not.

We have now found the "Monster" of WiFi routers. I can't wait to see oxygenated copper wiring and magnetically balanced pixie dust as justification for the ridiculous pricing.

I'm sure all your music will have a warmer sound.

I looked up Preamble Puncturing. Because it sounded like excessive BS.

Preamble puncturing is an optional feature introduced in Wi-Fi 6, or 802.11ax that improves spectral efficiency by allowing a Wi-Fi 6 access point (AP) to transmit a “punctured” portion of the spectrum channel if some of the channel is being used by legacy users

So their like 3rd line item for the enhanced performance of their wifi 7 device is just marketing a functional wifi 6 practice. Nice.
