I was excited for 802.11ac (now Wifi 5) when it first launched and I adopted it early but I've never been sold on the need for Wifi 6 let alone 7 now.
Unlike other folk in this thread I do thankfully have a Gigabit class internet connection but I now own my own home and so have been able to do some very basic Ethernet runs which totally replaces WiFi for 90% of my usage. My Wireless AP just talks to my phone, Steam Deck and a couple smart home gubbins really.
Latency for things like VR is seeming like one of the better improvements for 7.
I also hardwire my VR to my desktop which is hardwired to the internet.
Wireless can take a backseat
As much as I love being plugged into the internet, and definitely want to have the option to use a wire, I want to try wireless in VR - getting rid of the complications of being tethered by a cable seems likely to be worth the downsides.
While I'd love it, I don't think it has enough bandwidth to send a high quality image often enough to maintain a decent frame rate
Sure it does.
