    Sounds very exciting for the 5 people that have an internet speed of higher than 1 gigabit

    I’m joking, it’s cool that we’re starting to support this standard from now. The improved latency is interesting because I was always under the impression that the router is the bottleneck.

      Noooo! You guys are missing the big use case for WiFi 7: VR headsets

      It’s finally going to have the bandwidth to stream SteamVR to dual 4k-ish displays without hiccups in actually high definition (no noisy compression). Even if you have to dedicate a WiFi AP for the task it’ll be vastly superior to the situation we have today which can suffer from significant lag spikes and poor quality.

      I’ve done streaming VR with a dedicated Wifi 6 AP on my Quest 2 headset and the occasional lag spikes made games like Beat Saber unplayable (and I was only about 4-5 feet away from the AP).

      Nah, client radios have generally been the bottlenecks for a while now, at least since AC Wave 2, and particularly when they don’t speak modern wifi and drag every station in range down with them.

      Legacy clients are the worst.
