Not significantly. Wi-Fi 7 uses the same frequency bands as Wi-Fi 6/6E (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz), so its wall penetration is similar. However, it compensates with Multi-Link Operation (MLO) and wider channels (up to 320 MHz) that improve throughput and reliability even when signals encounter obstacles. This means users still experience faster and more consistent connectivity across rooms compared to older Wi-Fi generations.
Wi-Fi 7βs Multi-Link Operation (MLO) is a revolutionary feature that significantly reduces lag by allowing your gaming device to connect to multiple Wi-Fi bands, such as the 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands at the same time. This is different from older Wi-Fi standards, which only used one connection at a time. With MLO, if one band becomes crowded or experiences interference, your data can be seamlessly and instantly switched to the other band. This prevents the sudden lag spikes that can ruin a gaming session and ensures a consistently stable, ultra-low latency connection.
Wi-Fi 7 can deliver peak theoretical speeds of up to 46 Gbps using advanced features like 320 MHz channels, Multi-Link Operation (MLO), and 4K QAM. This means Wi-Fi 7 can surpass the speed of standard 1 GbE and 10 GbE Ethernet connections in terms of raw throughput. However, Ethernet still provides lower latency, guaranteed bandwidth, and more consistent performance because itβs a wired medium. In real-world deployments, Wi-Fi 7 offers near-Ethernet performance, especially for mobility and high-density environments, but Ethernet remains the gold standard for critical wired backbones.
Wi-Fi 7 operates across three frequency bands:
The 6 GHz band is where Wi-Fi 7 truly shines, as it allows 320 MHz ultra-wide channels, which are double the size of Wi-Fi 6Eβs maximum. This is the main driver for its massive throughput gains.
Wi-Fi 8, officially designated IEEE 802.11bn, is the next-generation wireless standard currently in development. Unlike Wi-Fi 7, which focuses on extreme throughput and efficiency, Wi-Fi 8 is being designed around:
Wi-Fi 8 is less about pushing peak speed records and more about ensuring flawless, uninterrupted connectivity for future intelligent and immersive applications.
Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be):
Wi-Fi 8 (802.11bn):
In simple terms:
Wi-Fi 7 = extreme speed + efficiency.
Wi-Fi 8 = ultra-reliability + seamless connectivity.
