Wi-Fi Alliance starts certifying hardware for Wi-Fi 7
A little more speed and less latency
Using optimization techniques, the wireless spec can support a theoretical top speed of more than 40Gbps, though vendors like Qualcomm suggest 5.8Gbps is a more realistic expectation
That is insane! Not that I would, but this could utilise the full pipe of my home connection on wifi only!
This does a better job than I could ever explain

Using optimization techniques, the wireless spec can support a theoretical top speed of more than 40Gbps, though vendors like Qualcomm suggest 5.8Gbps is a more realistic expectation.
It also supports Multi-Link Operation (MLO), which enables the simultaneous transmission and reception of data by using multiple links.
Lumen Technologies last month said it plans to show off its Wi-Fi 7-capable network device for Quantum Fiber customers at CES this week, with delivery slated for early 2024.
And as we noted previously, UK networking vendor EE, now part of BT, is working on Wi-Fi 7 kit of its own.
Apple is expected to add Wi-Fi 7, from a third-party chip, to its iPhone 16 Pro models later this year.
The iBiz will reportedly switch to its own Wi-Fi 7 silicon when the iPhone 17 Pro line appears in 2025.

That’s great! I only have a 200mbps connection and my home lab will not even saturate the 100mbps speed I get over wifi at the moment. I guess it could, but if I make a full backup, I’ll plug into Ethernet for a while.
I'm lucky enough to live in an area that has 3Gbps pipe. Not that I need it as such, but it's definitely a nice thing to have!
Another telecom started servicing my building. I currently have about a year left on my contract and I plan to switch as they offer a faster symmetrical connection. I could get them before, but they were not allowed to offer anything higher than 20mbps. So, as long as that cap is lifted I am switching over.
Does this include the Wifi Sensing feature that lets you see your neighbours boinking?
We have to assume it does!
This is great, my NAS is 10Gig and I hate having to wait to download a movie from it so I can do some remuxing. Already placed my order for the u7 pro which was posted to the unifi store yesterday. Already have the BE200 on the way to upgrade my laptops.
Spoilers: it won't: noisy neighbours, congested bands, and actual real world mean getting more than what we are already getting is next to impossible. Because basically those same factors are holding back even top speeds of wifi5, nevermind 6/6E
It’s not relevant anyway most people only have a gigabit as that’s more than enough for home users WiFi 6 and WiFi 6E are already great.
