MODERATORS
The article is about how new products are getting support for Wifi 7, so probably none of your current devices.
My comment was more a rebuke at the headline than the article
Why would we have eyes on something that won't be reasonably useful for years?
That's basically CES in a nutshell. Nearly everything shown off won't be useful for years.
The headline seems to be targeted at dedicated Verge readers who know that AI is the current big buzzword at CES, they are likely a bit tired of it, and are interested in something that's not AI.
The boosted speed is also beneficial for mesh networks, not just end devices.
Then you need APs that support it. It's not something that can be added by an update
