TP-Link has introduced its new network solutions for Wi-Fi 7, including a router and mesh network adapters. As is customary with the manufacturer, they stand out with the low selling price that makes it possible bring the new standard closer to a mass audience.

This year saw the debut of Wi-Fi 7 as the responsible industry group, the Wi-Fi Alliance, released the final specifications for the new wireless standard. The new standard, developed under the technical name IEEE 802.11be, aimed to achieve extremely high performance (EHT), which allows wireless networks to be taken to another level to replace wired networks, even in high-bandwidth applications.

Like any new technology standard, Wi-Fi 7 promises to improve everything seen in previous versions (in speed, latency, bandwidth and management of connected devices), but the cost is also usually much higher and certainly everything that has come up to now it had a high selling price.
