Wi-Fi 7 to get the final seal of approval early next year, new standard is up to 4.8 times faster than Wi-Fi 6::There are a lot of 'draft' Wi-Fi 7 devices around, but 'Wi-Fi 7 Certified' devices will only come to market sometime next year.

Will I be able to use it in another room? Because wow wifi 5 was awful, and 6 isn't that much better.

Generally as wireless tech gets faster, it's less able to travel distances or penetrate stuff

That's the most frustrating thing. I have 3 mesh waps in my house, but if you connect in a different room you get 2.4ghz. At this point I need a mesh wap in every room.

As the wavelengths get shorter, so too does my patience :/

Hardwire them if possible. Mesh isn't great, way too much Wireless traffic that's disturbing each other.

Compared to ethernet, WiFi isn't duplex.

That really depends on the router you have, my wifi 6 works in all rooms
