Decoding the Next-Gen Wireless Frontier.
A New Era of Wireless Standards
Since its launch in 1997, Wi-Fi technology has continuously evolved.
WiFi RiKu is dedicated to promoting, commercializing, and sharing these cutting-edge wireless standards to help professionals and businesses accelerate the flow of information and unlock the potential of the next digital decade.
Understanding the 6 GHz Band’s Legacy
While the industry accelerates towards Wi-Fi 7 (Extremely High Throughput) and the Wi-Fi 8 (Ultra High Reliability) era, it is crucial to understand the foundation laid by Wi-Fi 6E.
Wi-Fi 6E was a pivotal moment: it was the first standard to unlock the 6 GHz frequency band, operating outside the crowded 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz ranges. This innovation fundamentally delivered increased speed, capacity, and reliability by offering wide, clean channels.
The utilization of 6 GHz enabled higher throughput and significantly reduced network congestion—features that were transformative for high-demand applications like gaming, 4K streaming, and multi-user conferencing. Wi-Fi 6E’s low latency and high performance are the building blocks for today’s mission-critical applications.
The Current Focus: Wi-Fi 7 & 8
Wi-Fi 7 products are rapidly entering the market, driving a shift in technical focus towards Multi-Link Operation (MLO) and other new standards.
We will leverage market analysis alongside our technical expertise to help you understand the strategic landscape and evaluate the real-world value of next-generation Wi-Fi 7 devices.
🛠️ Reference Platform Spotlight: Wi-Fi 7 Capable Hardware
To truly test and appreciate the advancements we discuss—particularly Wi-Fi 7 MLO and its capacity gains—a cutting-edge reference platform is required.
We were fortunate to receive the NETGEAR Nighthawk RS700S to serve as our Wi-Fi 7 reference platform for technical analysis.
This router provides the cutting-edge hardware to fully explore Wi-Fi 7’s core advantage: extreme throughput up to 19 Gbps, which is essential for current and future 4K/8K streaming requirements.
More critically, as we transition toward the Wi-Fi 8 (UHR) era, the RS700S is a crucial benchmark. Its robust architecture is specifically designed to minimize the latency, jitter, and instability challenges caused by traffic congestion, high density, and client mobility—performance metrics that define the new age of AI-driven networking.
