MSI's RadiX BE22000 Turbo WiFi 7 Router Looks Like Something From a Sci-Fi Movie
If you're looking at upgrading to WiFi 7, but don't want a router that looks like a dead bug, then maybe MSI has the router for you, with its upcoming RadiX BE22000 Turbo router. The BE22000 part in the name refers to 802.11be which is the IEEE naming for WiFi 7 and the max theoretical throughput of the router, i.e. 22 Gbps combined across all bands. The RadiX BE22000 Turbo supports 320 MHz channel width, or twice that of WiFi 6 and it's the main reason why WiFi 7 can be so much faster than WiFi 6.
Other features include AI QoS which MSI claims automatically prioritises gaming packets over other types of data packets being sent by the router and it can be configured via a companion app. The RadiX BE22000 Turbo also supports MLO or Multi-Link Operation, which enables supported clients to connect to the router using more than one frequency band for increased throughput. MSI didn't reveal much when it comes to the hardware features of the router, but it does have a pair of 10 Gbps ports, as well as four 2.5 Gbps, making it a better choice than ASUS' recently announced RT-BE96U, which only has Gigabit ports in addition to its two 10 Gbps ports.

Now that looks like a star wars flyer :laugh:
Yep much better than prometheus dead bug
Star wars darth vader ship :cool:
Nightmares seeing that asus router coming at you :fear:
It's a legal requirement, not a standards requirement.
Stopped the vid before it made two V's "><":cool:
Any link to the legal reasoning? I'm more interested in why the shift to fixed antennae.
I can't find anything specific that mentions it, but if you change the antenna on the router, the transmit power changes and that means the device is no longer within the spec if was certified for. Apparently it's only for consumer devices though, so if you by professional gear, this limitation isn't there, but you might need a license to legally use those products.
This is the closests I've been able to find to an explanation.
