The Wi-Fi Alliance has officially begun certifying devices that support Wi-Fi 7, the next-generation wireless networking standard. Having this certification means that devices can fully interact with each other according to the protocol specifications. In 2024, official support for Wi-Fi 7 will emerge on smartphones, laptops, routers, and other equipment, offering a significant speed boost compared to Wi-Fi 6E. In its statement, the organization notes that Wi-Fi 7 performs better than existing standards in applications such as high-bandwidth streaming and low-latency gaming — which is important in light of the growing popularity of virtual reality systems and more demanding work applications. Wi-Fi 7 compatible routers are already available on the market, released by companies like Netgear, TP-Link, and Eero. This equipment may or may not pass certification, but having one allows manufacturers to guarantee full compatibility with other devices.
