SpaceX appears to be working on its first Wi-Fi 7 router for Starlink, according to a new regulatory filing spotted by Sawyer Merritt. If the hardware makes it to market, it would mark a meaningful jump in wireless performance for Starlink subscribers — Wi-Fi 7 delivers faster speeds, lower latency, and better handling of congested networks compared to the Wi-Fi 6 and 6E equipment currently in use.
Regulatory filings of this type typically precede a product announcement or limited release, though SpaceX has not made any official statement about the router. No pricing, availability timeline, or technical specifications have been disclosed at this stage. For more on SpaceX and Starlink hardware developments, follow our SpaceX coverage.
