Would backwards compatible not relate to older Wi-Fi standards then?
PS: Same is true for Wi-Fi 6 devices which are also already an improvement to your current device and mature.
There is no real gain in throughput/speed to expect here for devices that use older standards when connected to a newer standard base unit.
Better get a switch for that – if and when you actually have a use for it. Ah you do I see:
Then use the 10 Gbps LAN port to uplink to the primary switch (try to avoid daisy-chaining switches, define one as primary and connect all the other switches to that one).
PS: I would expect a late Wi-Fi 6 device to provide at least a 2.5 Gbps port as uplink port when used as an Access Point.
Also: Many basic stuff has already been written in the other thread here in this post:
Read the post script there too - the Wi-Fi 7 test report I shared seems to support that by pointing out that no device actually advertises/does MLO and most are not even certified Wi-Fi 7 devices.
Customers are early adopters paying a lot of money for a dream castle. Someone still remembers when the first generation of 802.11n (pretend to) consumer devices entered the market with dual band 2.4 / 5 GHz marketed – and they couldn’t do both bands simultaneously (but that very important fact didn’t get marketed of course)?
