The next generation of WiFi (8), the IEEE 802.11bn standard is set to up the ante when it comes to wireless connectivity, making reliability a key priority rather than just hitting a new high in the speed race. However, the rollout of WiFi 8 is not expected before 2028.

While the most optimistic pundits are already talking about theoretical data rates of up to 100 Gbps, ie, twice the highest speed of WiFi 7, the main aim of this new standard will be to make wireless connections as reliable as possible, regardless of the number of devices connected simultaneously.
