The Firewalla team is likely very busy and doesn't need to be harassed. I'm sure the team will provide updates when they are ready. If you're already a user of their products, you know they have a solid marketing team.
I've been involved in consumer electronics sales for many years, and Black Friday prices usually apply to products that companies want to liquidate, not to new product launches.
Ruckus only discounts previous-generation models (310, 510, etc.), and eero shouldn't be lumped into any of these discussions. If you need something to tide you over pick up a thee-pack of eero 6+ APs then give them away to a family member when Firewalla comes out.
Be patient. -
@UUan: You know that you'll end up buying Firewalla APs once they come out. You buy something else now, sell it at a loss later when you shift to Firewalla APs, or just be patient and wait for Firewalla to come out with their APs. It'll be a lot less expensive in the long run to wait. I'm there with you.

@adamzell I agree lumping enterprise grade APs (e.g. Ruckus) in with general consumer grade gear with consumer firmware shouldn't be done. Enterprise grade APs so vastly superior for most home users that are technical enough to walk through basic AP configuration guides for Unleashed. Used enterprise APs are an outstanding value and easily acquired on Ebay and are so much better than consumer APs it's not funny.

We don't have the early access process setup yet. The firewalla AP has a lot of (cool) integration with the firewalla, hence a lot of newer ways of using the network, so we want to have experienced people experience them first, then with the feedback, we can tune it better; this is "early access".
This no different than our other early access/beta programs. Meaning, there will be a very good discount and very close support for the initial set of units.

Hi Firewalla, all of them.
The lack of control over those advanced settings and more is what has driven me to look out for other WiFi vendors. Currently using a WiFi 7 system: Asus BQ Pro 16 (2 pack) and I believe they have settings control for all of these. Main issue, and why I’m looking forward to hearing more about AP7 Desktop is their firmware has a lot of issues with WiFi connectivity when WiFi 7 and MLO is active on the main SSID and one uses Apple devices. And they don’t need to be WiFi 7 devices…they will lose connectivity but still report that they are connected to WiFi. The workaround is to disconnect and reconnect but it’s not viable…so I disabled MLO and just kept the main SSID as a WiFi 7 which works. They allow SSIDs to either be WiFi 7 or not which I believe is needed for IoT or legacy devices to connect.
Will the AP7 have AFC support? If you cannot disclose now, no worries. Just looking forward to hearing about the specs.
