    Current generation wifi 6E and 7 add 6Ghz which offers substantially more bandwidth / speed.

    Wifi 7 also allows devices to use 2.4/5/6Ghz at the same time instead of just hard switching between them.

    Would be a major setback since 6Ghz allows devices to easily hit Gigabit speeds wirelessly.

      Yeah, I’ve got Wifi 7 set up an it’s awesome. I’ve got a single access point, and I get full gigabit in my office with line of sight, and it auto switches to 5GHz or 2.4GHz when I move too far away. It’s also great for apartments since it’s more easily blocked by walls, there’s way less interference from neighbors.
