TP-Link has presented its new solutions with support for Wi-Fi 7 wireless networks. They will be available in 2023 and will be at least a year before the official launch of the standard.

The technology industry is moving forward unstoppably, and manufacturers are preparing for the future. Wi-Fi 7 will be next a major upgrade to the wireless standard And despite the fact that we already introduced Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E early, the next big standard is coming sooner than expected.

TP-Link has come up with various solutions with its support. The most interesting for our taste is the standalone Archer BE900 router with the spaceship design known in the high-end series and with 12 internal antennas, with huge functions using four bands of the new standard, 10G WAN/LAN. ports, an RJ45 port and an RJ45/SFP+ combo port and the flexibility to connect fiber optic and copper. Its price will be at the top of its benefits because it will cost 699 dollars.

Other presented solutions are the Archer GE800 router, which the manufacturer aims at the gaming segment and Deco BE95 and Deco BE85 network systems, which will cost $1,000 and $1,200 respectively. Much more expensive than Mesh Wi-Fi 6 systems, but it is what you have to anticipate the launch of new standards.

They will be available for reservation from December 31 for delivery in the first quarter of 2023. It should be said that the Wi-Fi Alliance is still working on the final features of the standard and will not be released until 2024, so these solutions will reach the market without official certification .

What will Wi-Fi 7 wireless networks be like?

Since the final specifications have not been released, we know that the new standard will be given the technical name IEEE 802.11be. A new wireless standard is being developed to achieve a extremely high performance (EHT), so we can expect improved transfer rates, lower latency, better management of connected devices, and spectrum expansion with higher bandwidth channels that ultimately determine the data rate of a Wi-Fi signal and ultimately increase performance.

The theoretical data transfer speed will be stratospheric compared to the 9.6 Gbps Wi-Fi 6, up to 46 Gbps. The same can be said for bandwidth 320 MHzquadrature amplitude modulation QAM up to 4094 compared to the previous 1024 or double the number of spatial streams from 8 to 16 and improvements in MIMO, OFDMA and multi-link operation (MLO) technology that adds more channels in different frequency bands at the same time to improve network traffic and which is very an interesting feature for streaming gaming.

In total. Wi-Fi 7 aims to actually achieve a goal that the networking industry has been pursuing for a long time: permanently replace fixed local area networks through these wireless connections.
