  @Riley_S Any idea when it will be back in stock?

  @mkostersitz,

Unfortunately, I can't say specifically, but I believe stock was added a few times already, they are simply selling quickly. We should start to see increased availability over the coming months, hopefully, weeks. Also, as we begin to announce additional Wi-Fi 7 models and products, I would expect to see more become available. 

  @silenceleaf,

Can you provide a bit more information about your experience so that we can try and replicate the behavior in our labs? 

Whole Router Becomes Unstable: Does this mean your connection on other devices has issues? What indicates this?

Do you have any networked devices that are considered "Advanced", such as a DNS server?

What changes were made to the default configuration?

If possible, you may look at the router logs to see if any errors or warning are being thrown after observing the behavior.

Lastly, What firmware version are you using? Large Updates and Optimizations are actively being pushed via firmware updates, so make sure you are staying up to date.

  @silenceleaf,

Hmmm, did you do any kind of special configuration for your DNS server, maybe perhaps the AP isn't properly communicating with the main router for its DNS settings?

Are you able to see if using a default external DNS such as Google's service on your network results in the same behavior?

I do know that Samsung phones did have a known problem when connecting to a 6Ghz network, but I believe that this was fixed in a firmware update from Samsung earlier this year. Do you have any other Wi-Fi 6E devices that you can try to connect to see if the behavior is limited to Samsung, or if it is when any device connects to the 6Ghz band?

There were also updates made to the reporting of the system logs, so if you have not checked in a while you may take another look at the logs while you connect your phone to the 6Ghz band to see if anything has changed.

  @Jay_C,

DEFINITELY NO!

The New Wi-Fi 7 Routers are just in such high demand that they often go out of stock within a few hours. Make sure that you are checking both the Best Buy page and Amazon for updates on their availability. You may consider looking at the BE800 if you are in a rush since we often see more stock of that model.
