I'm connected to my new hotspot. What does this number 6 mean? This is the first time I've ever seen a number associated with any Wi-Fi notification.

            Yep. Ubiquiti sells wifi 7 APs and the latest phones support it as of some time last year I think. The big new feature is 6GHz and the ability to automatically hop between frequencies (You can use 6, 5 and 2.4GHz all at once). Latency has been great, and I easily get 1Gbps+ in the same room as my wifi.

            They’re finalizing it later this year but a bunch of manufacturers are already selling devices. The hardware specs are pretty much finalized at this point. Anything needed for final certification should be doable with a firmware update.

        Who tf follows news about Wifi standards? I’m sure most people don’t even know what their router is capable of.

          Mine can be dropped off a roof and could probably kill a guy, or at least irritate him.
