While the higher throughput is appealing, remember that Wi-Fi 7's primary gains come from multi-link operation and lower latency, which only matter if your devices and router firmware actually support the necessary features. Before upgrading, verify that your specific use case—like gaming or AR/VR—will genuinely benefit from these protocols rather than just chasing raw speed.

@sjvn@mastodon.social @ZDNet@flipboard.com I live in a Single Family Home with my wife and dozens of WiFi devices. I've got 3 5g WAPs that provide all the coverage I need, and the WiFi connectivity is still faster than my internet connection (300 Mbps symmetrical). Most of my network is 1 Gbps Ethernet over CAT-5. The only advantage to upgrading to WiFi 7 for me will be that my WAP hardware provider (Netgear) has stopped supporting my WAX214 WAPs.
