Broadcom Unveils First Integrated Wi-Fi 8 SoCs for Mesh Routers
- Broadcom announced on 27 May 2026 a trio of Wi-Fi 8 systems-on-chip, the BCM6772, BCM6774 and BCM6776, for Ethernet routers and mesh systems[1]
- Its earlier Wi-Fi 8 products used modular multi-chip designs; the new SoCs consolidate the application processor, network processor, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi 8 radios and multi-gigabit Ethernet PHY onto a single die[1]
- Each has a quad-core CPU complex and a dedicated Network Processing Engine, plus on-chip 2.4 GHz power amplifiers and third-generation digital pre-distortion that cut the bill of materials and 5 GHz power draw[1]
- BCM6772 (2x2 2.4 GHz + 2x2 5 GHz, 15x15 mm) is for mass-market routers and extenders; BCM6774 (2x2 + 4x4, 15x15 mm) for high-volume routers; BCM6776 (19x19 mm, dual PCIe Gen3, LPDDR4/5) for premium tri-band routers when paired with the BCM6718[1][5]
- CNX Software's spec digest lists up to 4096-QAM, Multi-Link Operation on all bands, a 10GbE USXGMII interface and secure boot with post-quantum cryptography, and notes the BCM6776 also anchors a 5G fixed-wireless platform with Samsung's B1320 modem[2]
- Arcadyan, ASUS, NETGEAR, Sagemcom, Sercomm, TP-Link and Vantiva are quoted as partners building on the chips[1]
- Broadcom is sampling the BCM677x family to early access partners and customers[1]; SiliconANGLE noted the Wi-Fi 8 standard itself is set to be finalized in 2028[4]
- The release crossed GlobeNewswire at 09:00 ET on 27 May, datelined Palo Alto[3]

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most.
