Using optimization techniques, the wireless spec can support a theoretical top speed of more than 40Gbps, though vendors like Qualcomm suggest 5.8Gbps is a more realistic expectation

That is insane! Not that I would, but this could utilise the full pipe of my home connection on wifi only!

    It’s not relevant anyway most people only have a gigabit as that’s more than enough for home users WiFi 6 and WiFi 6E are already great.

      And how many devices even are on 80MHz nevermind the 160? Essentially the bands are too tight, with too few channels already, so wider channels aren’t going to help that either

        That is true but since I got all WiFi 6 compatible device beam forming in my case of apt makes up for it makes the signal and speed way better.

      Internet connectivity isn’t the only reason for faster networking speeds. A faster local wireless connection still has reasonable applications.

      Not saying that I’ll jump on board with upgrading all of my devices for the new annual wifi standard, but it’s still cool that things are improving.

        All my devices are already WiFi 6 compatible I really like beam forming my old router didn’t have this and I could tell the difference right away as I live in a apt speed and signal is way better.
