"Wi-Fi 7: The Next Generation of Lightning-Fast Connectivity"

The Wi-Fi Alliance has certified the new Wi-Fi 7 standard, 802.11be, promising speeds of almost 5.8 Gbps, thanks to features like increased channel bandwidth, 4K QAM, MLO, improved latency, and MU-MIMO enhancement. While backward compatible, older devices won't fully benefit from its new features. Wi-Fi 7 is ideal for 8K movies, AR/VR gaming, and smart home devices, but its short wavelengths may limit long-range performance. Some Wi-Fi 7 routers are already available, but they come with a hefty price tag, and it's advisable for most people to wait until more devices support Wi-Fi 7 and prices come down.
