I. Wi‑Fi 7 Certified Standards

Core standard: IEEE 802.11be‑2024Follows Wi‑Fi Alliance Wi‑Fi CERTIFIED 7 specifications.Security: WPA3 mandatory.6GHz devices must meet DFS and AFC requirements.Beginning 2026: 20MHz narrowband profile for simplified IoT certification.

  II. Core Test Items

·Interoperability with major router brands

·2.4G / 5G / 6G band switching and roaming

·Reconnection after sleep

·Long‑term throughput stability

·WPA3 encryption & PMF — mandatory

·Full Wi‑Fi 7 devices: MLO, 320MHz, 4096‑QAM, MU‑MIMO, OFDMA, low latency

·6GHz devices: radar detection, AFC power control

·IoT 20MHz narrowband: TWT low power, weak‑signal performance, basic MLO

  III. Product Scope

·Consumer & enterprise: gaming routers, enterprise APs, Mesh systems

·End devices: phones, laptops, TVs, projectors, AR/VR

·IoT: cameras, sensors, switches, gateways, alarms

·All export products selling on overseas platforms or through carriers

  IV. Practical Notes

·Testing only valid at authorized labs.

·Optimize firmware before testing.
