Recently a came across a video for a newly released Mesh WiFi system that claimed that the Netgear Orbi was not officially certified to the WiFi 7 standard because it lacked AFC (a bit of a stretch, but does raise questions about Netgears flagship/expensive WiFi product). 

 

• Is the Netgear Orbi 970 (officially ) WiFi 7 certified ?
  If not certified, when will formal certification occur of the Orbi 970? - https://www.wi-fi.org/product-finder-results?sort_by=certified&sort_order=desc&certifications=1652 
  
  
• Is the WiFi 7 Automated Frequency Coordination (AFC ) capability something that Netgear will commit to bringing to the Orbi 970 in the US via firmware update or do existing Orbi 970 owners in the US lack the hardware to even get AFC ?

For those unfimilar with AFC, it is one of the key differentiating capabilities of WiFi 7 (along with MLO) - Primer below:
