New Starlink Wi-Fi 7 Router Receives FCC Authorization

SpaceX appears to be developing its first Wi-Fi 7 router for Starlink, with a new device named 'UTR-261' having received equipment authorization from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). This new router supports 802.11be EHT20 and EHT40, the technical specifications for Wi-Fi 7, alongside older Wi-Fi bands. The development suggests potential improvements in latency and network capacity for Starlink users, although the Starlink dish itself typically offers maximum speeds up to 400Mbps.
