Yes there are known issues that NG is working on resolving currently. We've help get all this to NG. Also this effects both Apple and Android so they are in the mix as well. Also some WiFi7 seen with NG devices have been seen with other Mfrs as well so seems to be industry wide problem with WiFi7.
I don't have any Apple WiFi 7 devices nor have Ipv6 from the ISP so I don't see these issues. I only have a few WiFi7 PCs and one Android 25s phone that user doesn't seem to exhibit issues on our 970 series.
If you want something a bit more mature, might review the 960 series if you are looking for high speed support though no WiFi7 with the 960.
All up to you.
