Might get you 1ms to the access point. Anything beyond that is a crap shoot

@TeaLeaf 2 - 4ms ping to where? Lets say it is to the router so going to 1ms ping will make absolutely zero difference

The client needs to support Wi-Fi 7 as well not just the router

IMHO, it's only worth it if you are upgrading because your existing wireless set up is packed up.

I have a pretty nice network going on and its wifi-6

I only upgraded from wifi-5 (ac) to get the AX functionality.

I wouldn't waste your money in your use case.

I’m using Wi-Fi 7 on Hyperfibre, which requires a compatible client card — Intel BE200 for Intel CPUs or BE201 for AMD. Router support is the main limitation, as some models still lack 6 GHz and only operate up to 5.8 GHz. Despite that, the upgrade has been worthwhile: I’m achieving near line-rate speeds on file downloads, comparable to a wired connection. It’s particularly useful since I primarily work off a laptop.

Probably not answering the original question, but I have a Slate 7 (I am guessing the thread is about gl.inet) I use as a wifi extender for a beryl ax.

I have the slate 7 on my desk and have its lan port connected to a small switch. I have all my devices that use wifi connected to the MLO wifi.   It is connected to the Beryl as a repeater (rather than extender) on the 5Ghz signal. The beryl is plugged into the ONT.

The Slate 7 signal will do the whole house signal wise, the only reason I have it connected to the beryl is that I have not found a good 8 port switch that has a wifi 7 uplink, and the slate does that with my old dumb switch attached.

you are right, it doesn't answer the original question nor is any of it related to the original question

because I opened my post with that same statement, you feel the need to reenforce that because….

In terms of now having a bit more time.

with my setup as above, speed test (from my iPad Air at one end of the house, to the slate at the other end of the house, back to the beryl - in the garage my end of the house) I get 7ms with a jitter of 2 (279/112)

Switching to the beryl that is about 10m away, I get 4ms ping and jitter 3 (throughput was 500/100).

From my workstation connected to the Slates 2.5Gbs port through the beryl it was 4ms 522/112

there are some caveats with that though:

• ping and jitter increase on download and again on upload
• With MLO - the first test, I don’t know what frequency it was using

As I have long since stopped competitive gaming, ping and latency is not an issue for me, so my setup is not optimised for that.

Thanks all. Its a nothing special router, but the devices get reasonable speeds through 4 walls of Gib board. Im doubtful BE3600 speeds would improve things noticeably for fairly ordinary use cases.
