What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-07-23

Adopt with guardrails

Why
The standard is now fully IEEE-ratified (2025-07-22) and shipping at billion-unit scale, making it the safe default baseline — but the gap between theoretical marketing numbers and real throughput, plus optional (non-uniform) feature support across certified devices, means integration claims need per-device verification
Next
Check each SKU's actual Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 7 feature set (MLO band combination, channel width, optional 4K-QAM) against the Wi-Fi Alliance certified-product listing rather than trusting 'Wi-Fi 7' branding alone
