With Wi-Fi ac gaining mainstream momentum, TP-Link is looking to the future with the Talon AD7200, which is the world’s first 802.11ad router. IEEE802.11ad protocol involves addition of a new spectrum in the 57-66GHz range, in addition to the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands used by Wi-Fi ac routers today. The end-result is a boost in bandwidth to 7.2Gb/s.

New technology is not going to be cheap, even if it is from the value brands.

I don't think we will see wireless adaptor so soon. The immediate deployment is like in a wireless bridge situation. Those of you who are on wireless and complained of poor signal in your room when the fibre is in the hall can deploy a pair of this to have speeds equivalent to wired speeds without laying any cables.

Hopefully...

But the main issue with such high frequency is the much shorter range. Ppl with difficulty running on 5GHz due to range issues would probably have a harder time on 60GHz. 802.11ah may be better.

you have to set the IPTV profile to singtel-extream. then port 4 will be reserved for singtel tv and not internet.

For the record, AD is not new technology. Atheros already had a working wifi card in mPCIe form factor utilizing the AD band in 2010 and they even displayed it in Computex 2010. I know because I was at their booth.

They even have a Linux driver that was merged into the kernel years ago: https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/wil6210

As to why AD never caught on and AC ended up being the next phase of WiFi technology, that's really anyone's guess. But i'll bet it had a lot to do with the infancy of the 60GHz band, and what appears to be the AD spec being incompatible with existing ciphers used in WPA and WPA2 encryption. WPA uses AES and CCMP, both of which are not supported by the Atheros card.
