Today I'm taking a look at the fastest WiFi AP I have ever tested - the TP-Link EAP787, which claims 12,000Mbps of WiFi7 performance. That's across three bands - 2.4Ghz, 5Ghz, and 6Ghz. It also supports MLO, a Wifi 7 feature that is rather over-hyped, and that I was unable to stimulate in my testing.

Key Specs:
BE12000 (EU) or BE15000 (US)
320Mhz channels in the 6Ghz band with 2x2 MIMO
160Mhz channels in the 5Ghz band with 4x4 MIMO (160+80 in US)
10 gigabit Poe++ port
Multi-Link Operation for WiFi 7 clients
Self-hosted local controller is an option
