"A pricey glimpse of the future, primarily for users with multi-gig internet and patience."
Wi-Fi 7 allows compatible devices to connect across multiple wireless bands simultaneously, which can reduce latency and boost speed, but you need new phones and laptops to see that benefit.
This is for homes with internet plans faster than 2.5 Gbps where the ports are the bottleneck, or for early adopters who want to build a network for the next 5-7 years and are willing to pay the premium today.
Users with gigabit-or-slower internet can get nearly identical real-world performance from a Wi-Fi 6E system for half the price. Anyone who wants granular network controls or objects to subscription fees for router features should look elsewhere.
