Wi-Fi 6GHz hardware

The 6 GHz Wi-Fi band is widely available in new hardware (routers and clients). However, for economic reasons, many devices still omit the 6 GHz Wi-Fi band. 6 GHz Wi-Fi helps provide more data bandwidth on less congested RF spectrum, which is important for latency-sensitive applications like gaming and video conferencing. While the ultimate connection quality can be achieved by wired Ethernet, practical considerations often lead to Wi-Fi being used even within the same room as the network router. At least Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) hardware (router and laptops, etc.) should be considered as Wi-Fi 7 MLO (Multi-Link Operation) avoids connection hiccups when switching between Wi-Fi bands because all the available bands are used simultaneously.

Typical contemporary mobile phones already have Wi-Fi 7 support. Laptop support can be checked from the manufacturer.
