I think I'm gonna buy this second hand this time.
I've always bought valve HW new and even preordered most of them, but in the current financial climate, I think I'm gonna wait a bit.
I do have a wifi7 access point already wired with this in mind, though.
Doesn't it come with its own WiFi access point dongle thingy?
The dongle itself is WiFi 6. You need a WiFi 7 AP to use it without the dongle.
The dongle operates in the 6GHz band. It's not necessarily WiFi 6, AFAIK.
Where was it confirmed that you'd need a WiFi 7 AP if you're not using the dongle? The WiFi 7 standard doesn't even need to come with 6Ghz (which is really stupid and confusing) so you could have WiFi 7 and still be limited to 2.4 / 5Ghz.
You're right about 6ghz. I misunderstood that bit.
It does.
