Why I’m waiting for Wi-Fi 8 instead of upgrading my router today

Wireless networking is already good enough to replace Ethernet for the average consumer in most situations. The latest standards, Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7, offer support for theoretical speeds well above one Gigabit. Unless your home is wired for multi-Gigabit Ethernet, you'll probably be served just fine by current Wi-Fi standards, so why wait for Wi-Fi 8? The answer is simple — Wi-Fi 8 promises something greater than speed. The standard is expected to keep roughly the same theoretical speeds as Wi-Fi 7, but focus on stability and advanced wireless networking features.
