Wi-Fi 7 Marketing is Lying About it's Biggest Feature (youtu.be)

Video description:

Wi-Fi 7 routers promise game-changing speed, lower latency, and more stable connections. All thanks to features like Multi-Link Operation (MLO). But do these routers actually deliver on everything their marketing promises? We tested the MLO capabilities of 25 routers to see if the hype is justified, or if it’s all just marketing.

There's a guy in the video who looks pretty real to me, but who knows, fakes are getting pretty good.

tbh, I didn't get that far. It could be legit. It just didn't sound legit, and I didn't see a person in the first little bit I watched, so I turned it off before giving it much of a go. When combined with the clickbait headline, I just felt like I wasn't going to get much out of it

I can summarize it for you. No wifi 7 routers support true wifi 7 multi link operation. Some support band switching but also in a limited way. Some are better or worse implemented than others.
