@anav … did you know that Ignorance and naïveté destroy its civilization …. So you’ve bought into the COVID scam …. And you probably think that Trudeau is just the best thing since slice bread … I hate communists Anav they all come in different colors. Supply chain … btw, … Biden and the Democrats took down the oil and gas industry in the USA … energy drives everything … you probably also believe that inflation is a byproduct of COVID …. 
btw, you do notice that I used the word HATE.
@anav, you just made my day
Why wait? Seriously… why? Buy products from other brands that offer WiFi6(E) if you need WiFi6 today. If you have customers that would benefit from WiFi6 you better offer a solution, or someone else will. Don’t get me wrong. I like Mikrotik a lot and I use a lot of their products, but if I come across a challenge I can not solve using Mikrotik I look for other brands for solutions. I would be very happy to see a WiFi6 product from Mikrotik, but sorry, I can’t afford to wait any longer or competition will start taking my customers. All major brands offer WiFi6 products TODAY, in-stock. Time is money.

All Major brands offer wave2 devices for years. So what?
2016 Specifically.
The fact that Mikrotik is late with wave2 by at least 5 years doesn’t mean they should simply skip it. Those who survived without wave2 will still be happy to use it on MT gear. And it can still be a big thing. Those who left for other vendors surely won’t loose sleep over it.
And we all certainly hope MT will do something about wifi6E and wifi7 sooner than in 5 years.
MT has a bunch of hardware with wave2-capable chipsets. wave2 is a separate package at the moment and needs more free space than most devices even have flash memory. But I think the roadmap of MT is, to get the wave2 thingy stable so they do not need a separate package anymore. They would just integrate it into the regular ROS release - but definitely targeted for each model. And I guess this is what it makes difficult, because they currently have architecture-releases. In fact they need to switch to model-specific binaries so they can keep npk-size small. Or they could integrate the wave2 functionality into ROS, and provide the firmware/drivers in a separate package.
Or they can just skip new driver for the current models with few memory and sell us new hardware.
Haha, yeah. They release ROS 7 for limited architectures like SMIPS - but on the other hand want to sell new devices for some half-decade-old wifi standard. I see…
It’s 2024 still no new WiFi like 7 or 6e 
It’s time to switch to other brand that listen to users and don’t spend time on this 90x style hardware!
It will take years for the WiFi 7 become mainstream. WiFi 6 is becoming standard more or less now and many people are still on WiFi 5.
Follow the smartphone if you want to follow the market..

What I am tracking though: Rumours of Apple 16Pro with wifi chip 2024, Apple17PRO with first time APPLE WIFI CHIP 2025, All Apple18 phones in 2026
That’s quite the list here. But for average Joe i think WiFi 6 is still more than enough. But cAP be would be nice to have

Quite… one of my biggest single locations is a wedding barn which can have 50+ users albeit not high volume users. They’re still on Wi-Fi 4 and no real complaints. I’d prefer them to focus on getting the current wireless issues resolved before moving on. There are just too many posts about problems with the AX line. For example " MikroTik hAP ax3 poor WiFi performance" has 43,089 views. I’m going to guess that any device older than maybe 3 years is still Wi-Fi 5. My only Wi-Fi 6 device is my new mobile.
The Chinese Xiaomi has released BE3600 WiFi 7 router for RMB 249 which is about $35 USD. How can Mikrotik compete with these companies?
question is, what real benefits does such a 35USD device bring over a MikroTik hAP ax3, for example. Is there a difference at all, or just the name? would be interesting to test and see
With a great community like this, and with a company that are very adoptive to our wishes, and of course lots of updates of there software with new features and bug fixes.
Thank you Mikrotik
Benefits? It features wifi7 
Real benefits, except new number
Topic’s question is: wifi7 Mikrotik when?
Noone asked for benefits
For example: personally I do not benefit from 802.11ax either. But I don’t question the existence of wifi6 product line.
