For the Quad-Band...

For the Quad-Band, is one of those Wifi channels dedicated for the back haul communication only, shared or a toggled option? What would the distance be for that, Router to Satellites?

 

I assume this is only available for purchase in America currently? Any idea when it's in other countries, such as it's arrival to buy in New Zealand?

 

I've been waiting for Wifi 7, is it's protocol finalized or still waiting on approval to be able to use all it's functions of the Mesh?

    Hi Validus

     

    We've built on our patent quad-band technology and dedicated backhaul to create Enhanced Dedicated Backhaul. Enhanced Dedicated backhaul makes use of multi-link operation (a feature of WiFi 7) to combine a dedicated 5GHz band with a shared 6GHz band, achieving 10 Gig wireless communication between the router and satellites while reducing latency and delivering data with maximum speed at range. This implementation of MLO is what sets us apart from competitors.

     

    Currently, Orbi WiFi 7 is only availble for purchase in US. We do not have an actual ETA when this will be available in other countries. Stay tuned for more product updates to come!

     

    We would recommend checking out the articles linked below for more info:

      6GHz3 (4x4/320MHz, 4K-QAM): 11,530Mbps

      5GHz-1 (4x4/240MHx, 4K-QAM): 8,647Mbps, Dedicated Backhaul

      5GHz-2 (4x4/160MHz, 4K-QAM): 5,765Mbps

      2.4GHz (4x4/40MHz, 1K-QAM): 1,147Mbps

       

      It means that we couldn't use 5G1?  240mhz couldn't be used on the user?
