      Wifi 7 is more about a feature set than it is about hardware, I imagine 8 will be similar

      I work in the industry. Wi-Fi 8 is about avoiding latency spikes so your automated factory arm doesn’t miss a „stop“ command and smash into something.

      Wi-Fi 7? My shit-ass internet company cant even get Wi-Fi 6 in where I live becuase the city signed an exclusivity clause with them for 30 years.

      That’s how technology works. You keep innovating, you don’t stop. 4k tv’s were already being demo’d before most of us had 1080p tvs. It takes awhile for new technology to become affordable for the masses

      7 is a mess. Too much of the features are “optional” which means no one implements them.

      I’m sure it has uses professionally but does anyone else actually care anymore? 

      I’m a software engineer and fairly high up the nerf spectrum, used to buy new routers, boosters and switches for home. 

      Now, I’ve got a half decent wifi 6 router (I think) and it’s just fine. Faster than my broadband, handles multiple devices, has good range, has good custom config options. 

      WiFi routers have entered the same realm as my my washing machine or fridge. Good enough is fine.

      It’s like iPhones – will prob skip this one and upgrade to 9 or 10 later

      Don’t confuse „new“ with „better“  

      My home runs on wifi N. I still speed test at 100Mbps on my wifi. Right now there’s a tv going, two handhelds and a console connected to it and I get zero complaints when I start a video call.  

      Handles it all fine on a ISP supplied NetComm router from 15 years ago.  

      It’s all about how many clients and what your throughput is. No need for fancy new versions if what you have works (and supports good encryption).  

      I’ll buy something decent. But this was my free backup and when my good one got nuked by a storm I haven’t been bothered to buy another lol

      Meanwhile, it seems none of the Wi-Fi 7 routers implement the Wi-Fi 7 features correctly, namely MLO that aggregates multiple frequencies.

      They only have to show the idea of innovation in order to get shareholders to approve their millions in bonuses. Look at Tesla for an example of a company that’s overvalued to an obscene degree

      Only reason I have WiFi 7 is throughput. I have a 10gbps connection and run on 6ghz, so speeds are amazing. Not 10gbps, more like 3.7, but it’s still amazing enough that it can even do 3.7 on a per device basis.

      WiFi 8? Meh, even with lag spikes it’s robust enough at this point for me.

      This always happens, they start developing and releasing the future WiFi standards long before the majority have migrated.

      Next it will be WiFi 10 is appearing before most of us have switched to WiFi 9
