Wi-Fi 7 Promises Faster Speeds and Lower Latency, But Will Take Time for Widespread Adoption

Wi-Fi 7 will offer faster speeds and more bandwidth compared to previous versions like Wi-Fi 6E, thanks to wider channels and combining connections across bands.

It will still work with older devices, but you need Wi-Fi 7 devices to take full advantage of the speed boosts.

Wi-Fi 7 aims to reduce latency and be more reliable for smart home and mesh networks through new technologies like Multi-Link Operation.

Wi-Fi 7 compatible devices are starting to come out, like certain phones and laptops, but it'll take time before it's widespread.

It's still early days so experts recommend waiting for the finalized standard and more compatible devices before buying an expensive Wi-Fi 7 router now.
