Neat, maybe it'll let me get gigabit wifi speeds in reality when not right on top of the AP.

- necovek 5y agoNope. Your whatever device is probably limited by the hardware it has and could never theoretically get that speed no matter how close it is. Even WiFi routers advertise their maximum "capacity" as someone noted in another comment, which refers to the bandwidth they can support when multiple devices are connecting at the same time (and they usually add up their 2.4GHz performance to the 5.0GHz performance, so you'd have to be having devices of both types to achieve the maximum advertised). And only then you start worrying about how close you are :)
- Saris 5y agoIf they're claiming 40gbps from 16x16, that means that a 2x2 or 3x3 wifi 7 device should be able to easily exceed 1gbps of real throughput.
- Avamander 5y agoYou don't need WiFi 7 for that, a totally reasonable WiFi 5 setup can achieve the same.
