How is WiFi 6/6e/7 better for me if I have only a 500MB internet plan?

502 viewsOtherTechnology

A 2 part statement/question: I see these fancy new routers offering wifi 6,6e and 7 that support 10GB of speed per port ect… I don’t get how my 500mbs internet plan will be 50% faster (according to google) with a new router. Also I am unaware of any ISP providing 10GB of internet for standard consumers.

The idea I’ve heard is that you generally don’t get 100% of your WiFi advertised speeds. So let’s say your WiFi is 500 but your connection is only getting 60%. Your speeds are slower than your internet. But if your WiFi is 10gig and you only get 60% it’s maxed.

Still probably overkill for most people.

The 10gig ports would be for your internal network which if you are willing to spend enough you could utilize. Still overkill.
