      Can you give some more details about which wires you would run? Is cat 6 good enough for the future, or is there something better?

          Do these cables last like 20 years?

          Is it not ok to just run some kind of Ethernet cables to keep costs down? I’m assuming fiber is pricey.

              Sorry, I hope I’m not asking too many questions.

              It’s just that my wife and I have been talking about a house and I’d like to learn more about this as I’d have the builders run the lines.

              I’ve never really worked with fiber before. Is this the idea for wireless relays that accept fiber as input? Would I also need to run some Ethernet cable to connect my laptop or desktop without using wifi?

    You know - and this is a radical idea that nobody working on the wifi standard has contemplated yet - we could, like, improve more than just one thing per iteration, perhaps. Last time I checked, EA wasn’t at the helm of this operations, we don’t need yearly releases. How about you go away and come back in like 5 years with an actual reason to upgrade my shit. Thanks.

      Did you read the article? There is a laundry list of improvements made in WiFi 7 other than MLO

        Tbf the only reasons to read an article these days is to either shit on how bad the headline is, note how little meaningful information it has, and/or post a tl;Dr.

    The renewed focus on reliability is motivated by emerging applications. Imagine a wireless factory robot in a situation where a worker suddenly steps in front of it and the robot needs to make an immediate decision.

    No! You should never use wireless link as part of a decision making system for a robot. It must be done localy with a dedicated real time system. If you can not do it then pay a human to do the work.

    I wish they focused more on extending the range. If my LTE or GPS antenna can extend to a few hundred meters why shouldn’t why WiFi antenna too?
