Amazon previews Wi-Fi 7 mesh system

Amazon announced its first Wi-Fi 7 mesh system - -the eero Max 7 combines the company’s patented TrueMesh networking technology with Wi-Fi 7 standard to increase speeds, avoid interference from neighboring networks, and improve mesh latency–and with 10 Gigabit Ethernet.

As eero’s fastest tri-band mesh wifi system, eero Max 7 supports the 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz radio bands, and delivers wireless speeds up to 4.3 Gbps and wired speeds up to 9.4 Gbps.
