    Isn’t wifi good enough for everyone already? I mean, it’s great to have upgrades but pretty much nobody needs it

        Agreed. What tipped me off was the number 7, which is 1 higher than the number 6. I can’t believe people can’t see how much better it is!

          To be fair, we’re getting diminishing returns every iteration. 7 is only 1/6th more than the last one. And 8 will be just 1/7th. I don’t blame people for being a little fatigued by this.

      Most don’t need faster internet than 50mbits/s either, doesn’t mean you won’t like having it. A more reliable and faster wi-fi is always welcome.

      The biggest benefit to wifi 7 that I’m excited about is streaming wireless VR headsets without extra equipment to a PC.

        Could you elaborate on this? I think you mean wireless PCVR over wifi, but that’s achievable lag free on wifi 5

      Sure, it’s already good enough for everything I use it for. However, I hope and expect to be doing cool new shit with way better wifi in 20 years. So, in the chicken and egg problem of technical capability vs cool applications, I am fine with increasing specs way in advance of killer apps.
