So according to an FCC filing the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro will support Wi-Fi 6E but not the newer Wi-Fi 7.

For a comparison, you can get a max speed of 9.6 Gb/s with Wi-Fi 6E, while Wi-Fi 7 can reach a speed of 46 Gb/s.

    But that would require 1. The console to support >10 Gbps transfers, 2. Your internet infrastructure to support >10 Gbps in every step of the chain, and 3. The streaming actually using >10 Gbps.

    Either one of these conditions is very unlikely to be fulfilled, let alone all of them.

      Seriously this. The next gen routers are pretty expensive.

      I can see in the next 3-4 years where it’s more affordable. For most of the population, they absolutely not ready for this.
