MEET Slate 7
Dual-band Wi-Fi 7 Travel Router
This link above is just an website with a field "notify me", on Firefox, Chrome and Brave browsers (Pixel7 smartphone) 
Try not to disclose much info at this stage.
From the link above, it's saying it will offer speed up to 3600 Mbps.
But the purpose of the Wifi 7 is to increase the speed.
Flint2, with Wifi 6 is already offering 4804 Mbps
I guess you could try Wifi7 on top grade routers and not on travel routers
The difference is that the wifi on the flint 2 is 4x4 streams. Therefore there are also 4 antennas on the Flint 2.
The Slate 7 is a travel router, which seems to have just 2 antennas. If you look at wifi 7 speeds, it would line up with being a 2x2 spatial streams device.
2,4GHz with 2 spatial streams at HE40 would give the Slate 7 688 Mbps and 5GHz with 2 spatial streams at HE160 would give it 2882 Mbps. With usual wifi-rounding that would add up to "3600 Mbps".
Comparing that to the Beryl AX:
2,4GHz with 2 spatial streams at HE40 gives it its 574Mbps and 5GHz with 2 spatial streams at HE160 give it its 2402Mbps.
It's a nice bump up. Especially if it has both a 2.5G WAN and LAN port, because the Beryl AX has only one.

I mean, for a travel router, is Beryl AX not yet enough (>2Gbps)?
Is quite difficult to find a hotel, guest networks, etc with a so fast internet/network speed. That is why I suggested the Wifi7 to top grade routers, because it will be used in home, where the internet speed and the network is much faster.

I use Beryl AX as home router since it is small (tiny) and cute. I do need really like WiFi7 tri-band (320MHz, 1x1 is fine) and LACP (802.3ad) both on a new one, I wish. The stupid Synology just never release 2.5Gb port onboard.
Hopefully, Slate 7.......but seems not. 
These travel routers are good wired access points. Small footprint and 2.5 Gbps port make them ideal for this use case. I wish there would be something like this with internal antennas and triple-band.

I think there are a fair number of GLi users using the "travel routers" where they live.
In my case, Slate AX is my main router, and I've used Beryl AX as an extender when my little servers lived across the house from me (next to the cable modem and backup power).
I move around a lot, so the small size is still a selling point.
