Hi RMerlin, I'm absolutely not arguing that WiFi 7 provides benefits for 5GHz band. I’m just saying that since only now there is real saturation with WiFi6 clients, and many more years will pass until they are replaced with WiFi7 clients, then, for the average consumer, there is absolutely no point in buying, for example, ASUS RT-BE92U with its 2x2:2, if you can, for example, buy a GT-AX6000 much cheaper, which is guaranteed to work better for this average consumer with his (mostly) Wi-Fi6 clients.
It can already be seen from the tests on Dong Knows Tech that a considerable number of WiFi7 routers have been released that work slower than the GT-AX6000 in 5GHz band (even using the BE standard). And it would be much more interesting to see what kind of latency these 2x2:2 BE routers would exhibit in the presence of a large number of concurrent clients with MU-MIMO support. There was already a post from BE98 user who complained that BE98 latency is worse than that of AXE11000.
