Wi-Fi 7 to get the final seal of approval early next year, new standard is up to 4.8 times faster than Wi-Fi 6::There are a lot of 'draft' Wi-Fi 7 devices around, but 'Wi-Fi 7 Certified' devices will only come to market sometime next year.

"Wi-Fi 7 supports superior connectivity for emerging use cases with high levels of interactivity and immersion,"

How far can I be from the access point and how many walls can there be in between? WiFi at home is already pretty bad just two rooms over from the router.

It's really just the nature of the beast. For higher throughput you need higher frequency. Higher frequency means less pentatration

At some point we'll have 1TB/s but it will require the devices to be kissing each other.

(Or we just move to light - LiFi)

Lifi is honestly probably the best direction
