    I literally just installed my unifi wifi6 pro a coupl weeks ago. …I had no idea WiFi 7 was just around the corner.

    That said, non of my devices support that as far as I know so I am not going to be missing out for a while I don’t think.

      It won’t be worth it for a hot minute. There are only a few routers on the market and they range from several hundred to a couple thousand.

      And there are even fewer devices that support it. There are a couple laptops that support it, but they’re a few thousand dollars.

        Sounds like the usual introduction for a new wifi protocol. It’s a niche market until enough devices become compatible. Then a rapid adoption as things reach their normal end-of-life and are replaced.

        So wifi 7 will be widely adopted in 5-7 years if it proves stable.
