You\u2019ve probably seen the sales pitches. \u201cGet blazing-fast Wi-Fi 7 with internet speeds like you\u2019ve never seen before. Just $600 for a new state-of-the-art router!\u201d Let me save you money.<\/p>\n
\ud83e\udd11 The reality check<\/p>\n
Yes, Wi-Fi 7 is fast. Theoretical speeds reach up to 46 Gbps. That\u2019s 46,000 Mbps, compared to Wi-Fi 6, which tops out around 9.6 Gbps (9,600 Mbps). Here\u2019s what that means in real life.<\/p>\n
Yea, you\u2019ll never notice the difference.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\ud83d\udc0c The real bottleneck<\/p>\n
Most Americans\u2019 internet maxes out between 200 to 1,000 Mbps. That\u2019s 0.2 to 1 Gbps. This isn\u2019t even close to what your router or phone can handle. Not sure? Look at those numbers above again. I\u2019ll wait.<\/p>\n
About your phone, it\u2019s limited by your internet connection, not your router.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\ud83c\udfce\ufe0f Who can use Wi-Fi 7?<\/p>\n
When you fall into one of these categories, it\u2019s worth getting.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Otherwise, it\u2019s like buying a Ferrari to drive to church.<\/p>\n
\u2705 What to do instead<\/p>\n
Still a slowpoke?<\/strong> Try a mesh Wi-Fi system<\/a> (nice, it\u2019s 33% off right now) to improve coverage.<\/p>\n Speaking of\u2026 A router and a modem got married. They were pronounced husbandwidth and WiFi. (Yea, it was bad. I agree.)<\/p>\n Know someone<\/strong> who needs this in their inbox?
