Eli5: Does the speed of the WiFi router really matter to much? Say from WiFi 6 to 6+ or 7?

274 viewsOtherTechnology

I have internet at home with speeds that top out around 250 Mbps. I find that good enough for what our household does with internet usage and streaming and such.

I am confused about the various WiFi router speeds that are advertised these days. Does it really matter? We have an Eero Pro mesh network. Would newer equipment make any meaningful difference?

So, your internet’s cruising at 250 Mbps. Going for WiFi 6+ or 7 won’t be a game-changer speed-wise. But those newer routers handle multiple devices like a champ, amp up the coverage, and come with some neat features. Since you’re already rocking the Eero Pro, which is pretty reliable, an upgrade might not blow your socks off unless you’re drowning in gadgets or dealing with WiFi dead zones. Think about whether the upgrade’s worth it based on your setup.
