How Fast Is It?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Wi-Fi 7 is a new specification for Wi-Fi devices currently in the works. It\u2019s based on the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/arxiv.org\/pdf\/2008.02815.pdf\">draft 802.11be standard<\/a>, published in <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ieeexplore.ieee.org\/document\/9433521\">May 2021<\/a>, that has not yet been finalized or <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roved by the FCC.<\/p>\n<p>The most show-stopping feature of Wi-Fi 7 is that it might make wired Ethernet connections obsolete for a certain class of both home users and professionals. Wi-Fi 7 can theoretically support bandwidth up to 30 gigabits per second (Gbps) per access point, which is just over three times as fast as the maximum 9.6 Gbps speed of Wi-Fi 6 (also known as 802.11ax). The draft authors call this \u201cExtremely High Throughput,\u201d or EHT.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, commonly-available wired Ethernet <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> maxes out at 10 Gbps (<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/10_Gigabit_Ethernet#10GBASE-T\">10GBASE-T<\/a>), although it\u2019s basically non-existent in consumer devices at the moment. And although higher speeds (such as <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Terabit_Ethernet\">Terabit Ethernet<\/a>) exist in specialist settings like data centers, its arrival in the home or small business setting\u2014if it ever happens\u2014is <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/news\/ultrafast-terabit-ethernet-connectivity-is-coming-fast-but-it-wont-be-cheap\">likely far off<\/a>. So for current users of both Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi 7 might be able to replace the need for wired connections under optimal conditions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>Wi-Fi 6: What\u2019s Different, and Why it Matters<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Else_Is_Cool_About_Wi-Fi_7\"><\/span>What Else Is Cool About Wi-Fi 7?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Aside from the theoretical potential of blazingly fast speeds of Wi-Fi 7, the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wi-fi.org\/who-we-are\/current-work-areas#Wi-Fi%207\">Wi-Fi Alliance<\/a> plans to include other notable improvements in the Wi-Fi standard. We\u2019ll cover a handful below:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Backward Compatibility:<\/strong> The Wi-Fi 7 draft spec spells out backward compatibility with legacy devices in the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands, which means you won\u2019t need all-new devices or hardware to connect to a Wi-Fi 7-enabled router.<\/li>\n<li><strong>6 GHz:<\/strong> Full utilization of the new \u201c6 GHz Band\u201d (actually <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/arxiv.org\/pdf\/2008.02815.pdf\"><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">5.925\u20137.125 GHz<\/span><\/a>), first supported in Wi-Fi 6E. The 6GHz band is <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wi-fi.org\/news-events\/newsroom\/wi-fi-alliance-brings-wi-fi-6-into-6-ghz\">currently only occupied<\/a> by Wi-Fi applications (although that might change), and using it results in <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/arxiv.org\/pdf\/2008.02815.pdf\">dramatically less interference<\/a> than the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz bands.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lower Latency:<\/strong> The draft Wi-Fi 7 spec aims at \u201clower lateness and higher reliabilities\u201d for <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Time-Sensitive_Networking\">time-sensitive networking<\/a> (TSN), which is essential for cloud computing (and cloud gaming). It\u2019s also a critical requirement for replacing wired Ethernet connections.<\/li>\n<li><strong>MLO:<\/strong> Wi-Fi 7 offers <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/arxiv.org\/pdf\/2105.10199.pdf\">Multi-Link Operation<\/a> (MLO) with load balancing and aggregation that combines multiple channels on different frequencies to deliver better performance. This means a Wi-Fi 7 router will be able to utilize all bands and channels available dynamically to speed up connections or avoid bands with high interference.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Upgrades to 802.11ax:<\/strong> According to the draft spec, Wi-Fi 7 will offer direct enhancements of Wi-Fi 6 technologies, such as 320 MHz channel width (up from 160 MHz in Wi-Fi 6), which <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/kb.netgear.com\/000060369\/What-is-160-MHz-channel-bandwidth\">allows faster connections<\/a>, and 4096 quadrature amplitude modulation (<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Quadrature_amplitude_modulation\">QAM<\/a>) technology that allows <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.commscope.com\/blog\/2018\/wi-fi-6-fundamentals-what-is-1024-qam\/\">more data crammed into each hertz<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_Will_Wi-Fi_7_Be_Available\"><\/span>When Will Wi-Fi 7 Be Available?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>According to a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/corp.mediatek.com\/news-events\/press-releases\/mediatek-shows-the-worlds-first-live-demos-of-wi-fi-7-technology-to-customers-and-industry-leaders\">news release from MediaTek<\/a>, which claims to have already <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/107977\/wi-fi-7-is-already-coming-heres-what-we-know\/\">demonstrated<\/a> the maximum Wi-Fi 7 speed mentioned above, Wi-Fi 7 products are expected to hit the market in 2023. An <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/spectrum.ieee.org\/wi-fi-7-stomps-on-the-gas\">article in IEEE Spectrum<\/a> cites 2024 as a potential availability date.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, you can already buy routers that support Wi-Fi 6\u00a0(and Wi-Fi 6E), which is still impressive compared to earlier Wi-Fi standards. We\u2019ve written a guide covering the best routers on the market.
