  • Ubiquiti is probably your best bet for ‘cheap’ wifi7. As far as mix and match, the short answer is it’s bad.

    The long answer is that for anywhere the cells overlap you’re going to have degraded performance at or near wifi5 speeds, which really means wifi4 speeds on 2.4ghz. You’re right that this is mitigated by careful channel planning but once you’re past 4 APs within earshot of each other you’ll run out of 40mhz channels unless you’re in a place where the dfs bands aren’t problematic.

    If you are looking for performance improvements, ditching the wifi 5 in favor of wifi6 will be as big or bigger of a jump than 6 to 7 off the 6ghz band.
