A Deep Investigation
I've been sitting on this project for a while, I haven't shared it until now. While learning about networking and on one of my massive side tangents, I thought it would be really cool to have a detailed breakdown of what the data is doing at what stage in the process. No, not another OSI Model post, but the Wi-Fi 7 NIC exclusively. I wanted to know, "What is the process for the cutting edge Wi-Fi technology?" - something I have limited knowledge about.
That's a VERY BIG question. 🫣 And it deserved a project. And man, I'm impressed with what I was able to get AI to combobulate for me. However, as a non-expert, I would greatly appreciate feedback from a weathered wizard here. Is this presented properly? (I'm looking at you, network people! <3 )
This static page allows you to click around and learn about the different stages and views at different scales. I feel it offers some real understanding. It is interactive. Play with it! I am obsessed with the board view. I think it's pretty freaking awesome.

Purpose
To gain a deeper understanding of the entire flow of network data through a wifi-7 card.
Content
It is a static page with 3 tabbed views. The original tool was created quickly with AI prompts to get the idea started. It has some minor imperfections but is generally working.
Tab 1 - Packet Flow
Tab 2 - Board View (The cool tab, honestly)
Tab 3 - Scale Ladder, high level over view from what happens at a room level, and all the way down to a logic view. Cool Stuff.
What needs to be done:
- I'd prefer the styling in a separate file.
- Look for and simplify redundant code.
- Some of the graphics are slightly out of place, minor, but noticable.
- Open to ideas!
