TL;DR Summary

Wi-Fi 7 devices can now be certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance, offering higher throughput, linked wireless bands for better stability, and reduced latency. The new standard allows for 320 MHz of channel bandwidth, Multi-Link Operation across 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz connections, and Multi-Resource-Unit Puncturing, potentially achieving a 5.8Gbps connection and a maximum throughput of roughly 36Gbps. Manufacturers are already touting devices pending its certification, and while consumer-level devices may not provide the full connectivity potential, Wi-Fi 7 offers significant upgrade incentives over prior generations.
