WiFi 7 vs WiFi 6: What's the Difference?

WiFi technology is advancing pretty quickly in recent years as compared to the lull (read: rut) we were all in for more than a decade. This rapid evolution has to do with the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) opening up previously unavailable operating bands. Of course, nothing is free and without “gotchas”. WiFi is a technology where advances forward usually come with steps backward due to how the electromagnetic spectrum operates. Increased bandwidth and higher frequencies carry a penalty, which we will discuss further in this blog. First, though, let’s recap all of the WiFi flavors you are likely to encounter out there and compare them quickly side by side. We will explain the terms that frequently make discussing them confusing as well.
