I'm still on Wi-Fi 4.

In theory, this should be like having wireless Thunderbolt. Hopefully cameras are quick to adopt this. This would be super handy for sending 8K video to a workstation.

Always wondered about penetration and signal length. Does beat 2.4Ghz, still?

Pretty sure length is important for penetration. Wait... what were we talking about?

If the cause of the poor 2.4ghz range was tons of interference on that band, then maybe. But lower frequencies simply go farther, so 6ghz will always have a lot shorter range than 2.4ghz. Though while it's impossible to change the laws of physics, it might be possible to change the laws around wireless telecommunication to allow it to transmit at a much higher power - not sure if WiFi 7 does.
