    While I think most agree with you, it’s important to note there is more to networking than WAN access. Streaming 4k in your home network over WiFi sounds pretty awesome for security cameras and other self-hosted medias.

      Who needs 4k security camera footage streaming in their own home?

      The media center is far more relevant here, but again, current speeds are pretty adequate for the majority of people.

      Sure, though in my world none of my networking needs exceed the capabilities provided by the current WiFi generation, thus it remains unchanged. Nor will I see any benefit from it unless I conduct a thorough review and replacement of all impacted devices in my world to also accommodate WiFi 7, which I will not be doing.

        As your ANAL Attorney, I advise you to take less Psyllium Fiber Optic Husk to prevent further Ethernet runs.

        With the number of people renting on the rise due to house prices in many countries around the world, running cables isn’t an option for everyone (and even when it is, not everyone wants to actually do it).

        Having more options available for people to move large amounts of data around their home is never a bad thing.
