One Router. No Mesh. No Dead Zones. — V2700 is the industry's first router to fix Wi-Fi at the signal level.
NEW YORK, April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- WavKong today introduces the V2700, a new kind of Wi-Fi router built to solve one simple but frustrating problem: Why does Wi-Fi still fail in the rooms that matter most?
Bedrooms lose signal. Upstairs slows down. The backyard barely connects. And the usual solution? Buy more boxes. Set up mesh. Adjust nodes. Repeat.
V2700 takes a different approach. Instead of adding more devices, it improves the signal itself.
Whole-Home Coverage — From Just One Router
Designed for large and multi-floor homes, V2700 delivers up to 15,000 sq ft of coverage from a single device — across your entire property, including outdoor areas — eliminating the need for multi-node mesh systems.
That means:
- Fewer devices
- No node placement guessing
- No roaming issues
- No extra backhaul bottlenecks
Just one router — placed once — working everywhere.
What Makes It Different?
At the heart of V2700 is WavKong's custom RPU (Radio Processing Unit) — a dedicated digital RF processing chip.
While most routers compete by adding more antennas and chasing higher peak speeds, V2700 focuses on what actually matters: signal quality.
The RPU continuously corrects signal distortion in real time using base-station-class Digital Pre-Distortion (DPD) technology — the same class of RF linearization used in cellular infrastructure and satellite systems.
This results in:
- Cleaner signal output
- Stronger usable range
- More stable mid-to-long distance performance
- Fewer drop-offs across floors and walls
Under controlled testing, V2700 achieved up to 3–10X higher throughput at mid-to-long range compared to conventional single-router setups.
Built for Real Homes — Not Just Lab Speeds
Wi-Fi speeds on paper don't reflect real-world environments. Walls absorb signal. Floors block range. Interference degrades performance.
V2700 was engineered specifically for these real conditions — not just peak benchmark numbers measured next to the router.
Executive Commentary
"People don't buy routers for peak numbers—they buy them for dependable Wi–Fi in the rooms that matter. V2700 is a radio–first design. Rather than adding more boxes, we focused on engineering a cleaner, stronger signal so one router can realistically cover more of a real home."
— Petri Manninen, CTO of WavKong
Key Highlights
- RPU-powered Wi-Fi 6 (AX3000)
- Base-station-class DPD RF linearization
- Up to 15,000 sq ft of coverage across your property (varies by layout)
- 3×–10× higher mid-range throughput in controlled testing
- Works with existing ISP modem or gateway via Ethernet WAN
V2700 is for you if:
- Your home is over 3,000 sq. ft. or has multiple floors
- You have dead zones in bedrooms, basement, or backyard
- You tried mesh but hate the complexity and cost
- You want reliable Wi-Fi without adding more boxes
- You're tired of "peak speed" marketing that doesn't match reality
Testing & Methodology
Performance statements are based on WavKong internal testing, including controlled RF measurements and comparative throughput evaluations in standardized environments. Results may vary significantly depending on interference, channel conditions, device capabilities, and construction materials. Detailed methodology and reviewer guidance are available upon request.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: Do I still need a modem?
A: Yes. V2700 connects to your existing ISP modem or gateway via Ethernet WAN. - Q: Does V2700 replace my mesh system?
A: In most cases, yes. One V2700 covers up to 15,000 sq ft across your property — including outdoor areas. Field tests in typical 4,000 sq ft, three-story North American homes show 3–10× faster performance at mid-to-far range — where mesh systems are often required. - Q: Is this Wi-Fi 7?
A: V2700 is Wi-Fi 6 (AX3000), optimized for stability and range — not just peak speed. - Q: Will there be a subscription fee?
A: No subscription required for the Kickstarter version, all core features and firmware updates are free. - Q: When will backers receive V2700?
A: Estimated shipping June–August 2026. Timelines are estimates and subject to change.

The First Time a Game in the Legendary Franchise Comes to Consoles
BELLEVUE, Wash., June 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Critically-acclaimed game development studio ArenaNet® tonight announced Guild Wars 3™, the third entry in the legendary and beloved Guild Wars® MMORPG franchise and their first new game since 2012. The game will release globally on PC, Steam, and PlayStation 5, marking the first time a Guild Wars game will appear on home consoles. The first beta test is scheduled for fall of 2027.
The official debut trailer features the first in-engine gameplay footage and can be viewed HERE. The first concept art and other assets are hosted at the Guild Wars 3 official press kit.
"Guild Wars 3 is a new era not just for ArenaNet and Guild Wars, but also for MMORPGs as a whole," said Colin Johanson, Guild Wars 3 Game Director and ArenaNet Studio Head. "The MMORPG genre has millions of players worldwide eager for new, modern experiences, and the opportunity to harness that excitement is immense. Our approach with Guild Wars 3 is to push MMORPGs forward, to create an online game world that feels believable, rewarding, responsive, and innovative while at the same time respecting players' time and providing a positive, supportive space to build community and enjoy new stories in our universe."
Taking place over a thousand years before the events of the original game, Guild Wars 3 is set in the Tyrian region of Orr, a vast wilderness frontier imbued with the world's magic. Nature entities with strong connections to the land called Vael spirits embody the vitality of this lush, verdant landscape. Various guilds are engaged in conflict over how to protect or exploit the bounty beyond civilization's borders. These multitudinous spirits will vary in size and influence within the ecosystems around them, with the most notable of these being the Seeker. As seen in the trailer, every player's Seeker will serve as a connection to the spirits of Orr and a mount that will carry them on their journeys through the game's open world.
Players will assume the role of a Vaelwarden, a member of a guild of adventurers committed to preserving and protecting both the spirits of the wild and the land of Orr itself. Through the deep character customization and skill-building gameplay the Guild Wars franchise is known for, players will seek adventure and confront danger across this sumptuous, vibrant online world, growing their relationships with the spirits of the wild, the inhabitants of Orr, and other Vaelwarden players.
A combat system designed from the outset to feel great on both a controller and keyboard rewards positioning by emphasizing the joy of movement and momentum. As players seamlessly transition between various movement modes, they can harness their speed and turn it into bigger damage and impact when fighting their foes.
More information about pricing, beta tests, release date, and gameplay features will be revealed later in 2026 and into 2027. Guild Wars 3 will be available directly from the developers at GuildWars3.com, and can be wishlisted on Steam and the PlayStation Store beginning today, with more information available at the game's official website.
