First Wi-Fi 7 device supported by Cox.
Was checking the modem page and noticed two things. First the Ubiquiti UCI modem is no longer on the supported list. However the page for it is still up. Probably a moot issue since you can't seem to...

If you have older devices, there isn't a whole lot of benefit but Wi-Fi 6 can still help in heavily congested areas. Wi-Fi 6E goes even further by using a entirely new band(6Ghz) which almost no one is using. However it's mainly for LOS applications. I am not sure what Wi-Fi 7(be) adds but I will be going down that rabbit hole when I upgrade. I am waiting 6 months AFTER Wi-Fi 7 is finalized which could be as late as 2024.That way all the firmware bugs are worked out.
I am not sure what Wi-Fi 7(be
WiFi 7 supports 320 MHz widths…double of WiFi 6. It's 802.11be.
How does the 5Ghz low vs 5Ghz high work as mentioned here? Is it just dedicated radios for different channels on the 5Ghz band? Also, I hear Wifi 7 multi-link can decrease latency? Is that what it's for?
5 ghz incorporates 3 sets of channels, the lower band channels 32/36/40/44/48/52/56/60/64 then 96-144 in multiples of 4, then 149-177 again in multiples of 4. Each group has 20mhz channels, then 40 mhz channels, (groups of 2), then 80 mhz channels, (groups of 4) and each set has a single 160 mhz channel. So lower and higher probably means 2 sets of 5ghz transmitters, one in the 32-64 channel group, and the other in the 149-177 channel group.
🤓 Very good information. Thanks!
Low vs High? I'm not sure of the distinction. Perhaps 11n vs. 11ac...or Wave 1 vs. Wave 2.
Latency. Multi-Link Operation (MLO) transmits over multiple bands simultaneously.
The distinction between Low and High is WiFi 5 vs. WiFi 6.
- 5 GHz low band is for WiFi 5 devices (802.11ac)
- 5 GHz high band is for WiFi 6/7 devices (802.11ax)
- WiFi 5 has a limit of 8 streams in a dual band configuration
- WiFi 6 increases the number of streams to 12 in a dual band configuration
...so if you wanted a distinction: High adds 4 more streams.
