SEVEN THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT WI-FI.

In practice, we doubt you'll ever see a 16x16 MIMO connection: multiplexing pushes up the cost and complexity of the design, which is why consumer Wi-Fi 6 and 6E devices rarely go beyond 2x2 MIMO. Wi-Fi 7 allows more devices to connect at faster speeds 6 THE FIRST WI-FI 7 DEVICES ARE ALREADY HERE If you're eager to get a device with a Wi-Fi 7 logo, you don't need to wait long. Broadcom has been shipping Wi-Fi 7 chipsets since April 2022, and both Qualcomm and MediaTek are offering Wi-Fi 7 solutions. Otherwise, the encoding and transmission systems are identical to those in Wi-Fi 6, but reduced interference in the higher frequency range means that 6E devices often achieve better real-world performance than a standard Wi-Fi 6 connection on the 5GHz band.
