27 Comments on TP-Link Unveils the World's 1st Complete WiFi 7 Networking Solution for Homes and Enterprises
And for normal people with normal ISP service that only provides 1G service, these are totally worthless, not to mention the total lack of wireless devices (ATM) that can use the bandwidth/speed that these things claim to be able to provide...
Yea, fast NAS's are cool & all, but just sayin :eek:
The future is all leased and all cloud based especially for gaming. Nothing can be done to change that either. Hence all the new stuff having pro features and GPUs being sold hyping features and stuff gamers won't use and talking about creators and prosumers.
It won't happen... with the incoming recession these will turn into vaporware due to bad planning and timing. The MT7986 + MT7976 will also mend the situation to more common pricing.
Still defeated by a $10 network cable when it comes to reliability, stability and performance.
I guess this requires a bit of technical knowledge, but people buying a 1k$+ fancy router should know what they're buying or they're just burning cash anyway
Especially when most people are still gaming at 1K and 80/30 Mbit/s internet...
No wireless, screw that.
Speed is 1/10000 of what this router or any other proper, expensive, network gear offers though.
As for the future of everything (like gammin) being cloud based, we've been hearing this nonsense for almost 15 years now, and it STILL is not anywhere near where it should be in terms of speed, latency, security, or reliability. The only thing so far that is more or less ok is Steam, but even they are struggling to progress beyond their initial successes, as is evidenced by their push to sell both the service AND the hardware used to access it....
If this is TP-Link prices, what do you think Asus and Netgear will charge?And how do you connect that to your mobile devices?
Most notebooks don't have an Ethernet port these days.
Sure, you can get a USB dongle, but that's not $10, but then again, it's not $700 either...It looks that way, since TP-Link is a budget brand in the networking market. Asus and Netgear are unlikely to charge less.My biggest concern with TP-Link is that they issue 3-4 firmware updates, then they release a hardware revision and stop supporting the older revision.
heh
