What is WiFi 7, how fast is it compared to WiFi 6 and do you need to upgrade your routers?

Firstpost  

WiFi 7 is expected to deliver notably faster speeds. According to Intel, a typical WiFi 7 laptop could potentially achieve a maximum speed of nearly 5.8Gbps, albeit under theoretical conditions. WiFi 7 doubles the maximum channel bandwidth to 320MHz, a significant upgrade compared to the 160MHz available on WiFi 5, 6, and 6E routers. With the specification still incomplete and only a limited number of devices supporting it, the tangible benefits of WiFi 7 may not be realized for months or even years to come. Until then, WiFi 7 routers may come with a premium price tag, while the number of wireless devices capable of fully utilizing their advanced features remains limited, making it potentially cost-ineffective for most consumers.
