Faster is always nice, makes sense. But do you really need WiFi 7 features/speed? I don't know when I would notice a difference (on a laptop) between 600 or 150

Faster is always nice, makes sense. But do you really need WiFi 7 features/speed? I don't know when I would notice a difference (on a laptop) between 600 or 1500 Mbit/s (just as an example). Can't download much anyhow as the storage will get full in minutes.

- nomel 2y agoWifi 6 can do up to 4.8Gbps. Even at half of that, you're going to be limited by a 2Gbps fiber line. The real use is transferring huge files within the LAN.
- iknowstuff 2y agowifi 6 can’t do shit given that there’s crazy overlap if you go for 80MHz channels. Most situations tap out around 700Mbps over usually a 40MHz channel. Wifi 6e/7 6GHz band with a bunch of non overlapping 160MHz channels is where the juice is at. But even then a lot of devices are limited to smaller channel widths.

One of the features is preamble punching, which is useful in more dense environments: * https://community.fs.com/article/how-preamble-puncturing-boosts-wifi-7-performance-and-capacity.html https://community.fs.com/article/how-preamble-puncturing-boo... * https://www.ruckusnetworks.com/blog/2023/wi-fi-7-and-punctured-transmission/ https://www.ruckusnetworks.com/blog/2023/wi-fi-7-and-punctur... MLO helps with resiliency and the improved OFDMA helps with spectrum efficiency as well. It's not just about speed.
