I love the idea of Wifi 7 and I'm looking forward to upgrading from 5/6/6E, for a couple of reasons:
- Yes, I actually do feel limited by the speed of 5 and 6 (not 6E), not least of which because it gets worse with distance. The 6GHz network works great but doesn't get nearly enough range, and I'd love to supplement that by simultaneously talking on 5GHz and 2.4GHz, while using as much 6GHz bandwidth as is getting through from a given location. And I don't want to have to change which network I'm connected to, or even if it's the same ESSID I don't want my device to have to "switch" networks.
- No more dealing with 2.4GHz vs 5GHz vs 6GHz channels, or worrying which channels are clear, or which devices should be on which frequency. The premise of WiFi 7 seems to be to use all the bandwidth that nothing else is using, while avoiding anything that another device is interfering with. "What channel is your router using?" "Yes."
