> Wi-Fi 8 prioritizes one aspect of wireless communication that has become increasingly critical: reliability. Whereas 802.11be, which became commercialized as Wi-Fi 7, was termed "Extremely High Throughput", 802.11bn, which is expected to be accepted as Wi-Fi 8, is focused on "Ultra High Reliability". It's pretty great to hear this is the explicit focus. I don't need 50 Gbit/s, nobody ever reaches those theoretical speeds in the real world anyway. I do need Wi-Fi to work consistently even in congested areas like apartments where you're in "view" of six other units and every one has a dozen smarthome devices all babbling continuously.
