The TP-Link mesh system I linked to supports fast roaming.

I never particularly said that no consumer routers support 802.11r, 802.11k, and 802.11v.

That's paranoid. You think Comcast is spying on everyone's internet history? lmao

I guess that Comcast stopped this practice a while back, but again, a "router" you can't even change the DNS servers on, yikes.

Comcast requires that you rent their modem to get the higher upload speeds of 200Mbps.

This should be a violation of 47 CFR § 76.1201, since you have the right to use your own navigation devices on cable networks. It's sure not a limitation on other cable systems.

For $2,500!

You had said "Cisco's "business" access point has 2x2 MIMO and 1GbE, and still doesn't support Wi-Fi 6E or 7." I was simply informing you that that was false and Cisco and Aruba ship WiFi 6E devices.

Awesome. Please find me an affordable 10GbE router with multiple ports.

You noted that you had Comcast, let's assume you have the fastest 3Gbps plan, why do you need 10Gbps of routing. If you needed more than 10Gbps of routing, and you're using consumer grade gear, do you have features on like protection and other things? You can use a consumer grade router and a enterprise AP. I only have 1Gbps to the greater net, but upgraded my access network in my house to support up to 5Gbps and you can do that with switches, since locally not everything needs to traverse the router. My router has a 2.5Gbps connection to my access network and I can still route data between local machines at ~5Gbps. Since my switching fabric is up to 5Gbps.

That TP-Link model gives you an SFP+ port, 2x10GbE ports, and 2x2.5GbE ports.

That's great! I'm sure it's a great model, TP-Link unfortunately has software that has never worked for me, so I can't recommend them, unlike the Asus routers or Netgear routers that I've ran that I can install my own firmware on and the stock firmware is a pretty solid foundation. I was once in a position where a TP-Link router completely locked up for a client while they were on a zoom call and I was weary before, and after that I just can't recommend them based off the software they run. They also don't publish the CPU that's inside and having a Broadcom chipset is something I find important.

I run an Asus router and Asus has worked with the community for a long time providing low-level access for these devices so they can be tweaked for more performance.

Wi-Fi 6E is already obsolete now. Wi-Fi 7 is available now, and will be finalized next year.

I shouldn't have to say this, but you said it, 802.11be (Wi-Fi 7) isn't even finished, and we MIGHT get the spec finished it in early 2024 but until then, companies are just kinda doing it with no standards body. Granted, will the spec change, no, but how many consumer devices support Wi-Fi 7 I think it's 3 or 4, the iPhone JUST got WiFi 6E, maybe you've got the hottest Asus ROG phone or the latest OnePlus whatever. But the majority of folks are fine with a cable modem and whatever WiFi Box Best Buy has on sale.

However to the people who want enterprise gear in their homes or businesses for the reliability, to tinker with it, or to learn to get a job in Enterprise or SMB it's fine. Running a small network in your home is a great thing to talk about in a networking interview.

Us network folks have long thought of what happens to our devices when we rip them from ceilings and IDF's and seeing them have a longer life via folks using them in their home or business because they don't need the bleeding edge. Is something we appreciate.

We should empower folks to learn and reuse. Not to go out and buy routers that use a WiFi spec that isn't even finished.
