At this eyewatering $400 to $600 price point for a consumer Wi-Fi router, I'd expect included Matter controller hardware, especially as it won't be shipping for months anyways. Nada? Not even a ZigBee bridge?

At this pace we might get one 10gbps port on a router in 5 years 🙄lightningz71 - Tuesday, January 4, 2022 - link
Probably about 2 years. The last of the 10 Gbps patents expires within the year.shabby - Tuesday, January 4, 2022 - link
Are you serious? There's a patent holding it back? Any more info on this?Zenthar - Tuesday, January 4, 2022 - link
400$ is now considered affordable for a router ???? Maybe "more affordable" would have been a better wording.shabby - Tuesday, January 4, 2022 - link
I think with wifi6e routers everyone will be charging more because you get a third band rather than just two on wifi 6.
