- Is this a true Wi-Fi 7 router?
- Yes. It supports the 802.11be standard with Wi-Fi 7 features like Multi-Link Operation and 4K-QAM, but only on the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.
- Does it have a 6 GHz band?
- No. It is dual-band, so there is no 6 GHz radio. Tri-band Wi-Fi 7 routers add that band for less congestion.

- Yes. It is backward compatible with Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 6 devices, which run at their own speeds.
- Do I need Wi-Fi 7 devices to benefit?
- To see the biggest gains, yes. Wi-Fi 7 phones and laptops can use MLO and 4K-QAM; older devices still get a stable connection.
- How many antennas does it have?
- Six external antennas, which help with coverage and signal stability.
