Wi-Fi 7 may be here a lot sooner than we originally thought. Qualcomm says it expects to have the first Wi-Fi 7 product, its FastConnect 7800 chips, available in commercial products in the second half of 2022.
Many of us are still trying to catch up to the current Wi-Fi 6E standard, but companies are already racing to implement the next-gen Wi-Fi 7. While Wi-Fi 6E opened up the 6GHz band for consumer use, Wi-Fi 7 will be a significant speed upgrade to at least 30 Gbps and features “multi-link operation” that uses all three of the 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands dynamically. That means your Wi-Fi connection will automatically aggregate all three bands so you get a faster connection. And you won’t get fragged in fast-paced competitive shooters because of random connection drops.
