The fact that we can pull off 4096 QAM is amazing to me. I wonder just how much error correction is going on to get that reliable over the air.
Honestly I just got WiFi 6 and with my first WiFi router with beam forming man this WiFi is crazy fast and reliable as heck.
I'm not the only one late to the party then. I'm finally getting a WiFi 6 router from my ISP in a couple of weeks.
Wifi 6 took forever to get rolled out, especially 6e. Hopefully 7's rollout is much better.
I skipped 6 and got a really expensive wifi 7 router and at 6e speeds it's pretty insane. I get just over a gigabit connection goin outside of my network. Windows reports a connection speed of over 2gbit on wifi.
I did not want to wait for my ISP the are still on wifi 5 and the thing needs a reboot all the time so i bought a eero 6 wifi mesh router just one as i am in a apt then my 2 echo pops found out the act at repeaters for eero wifi so it worked out. Wifi 6 is game changer for sure super reliable devices that had a wired connection through Moca i now only use Wifi 6 on as no need for wired as it works just as good 500 down in my entire apt and that is what i pay for so sounds good to me.
