WiFi 7 is here!

Remember last week when I posted about WiFi 6? Well – turns out WiFi 7 was actually launched in January 2024 so I was behind the times. But I was doing a little light reading (LOL) about WiFi over the weekend and read about WiFi 7! No worries – it’ll take some time before routers/devices are all ready for it so you haven’t missed anything yet.

WiFi 7 adds yet another band for speed – 6GHz. So new routers coming to market will be tri-band. Your WiFi enabled devices will still work with WiFi 7 but may not be able to access all the speed available. One of the driving forces behind WiFi 7 is the number of VR devices coming online so the third band of spectrum will make more space – and speed – needed for them.

I realize not all of you will be as fascinated with WiFi as I am but here are some articles about WiFi 7 that will explain it better than I can!
