Early adoption might be expensive.

I’ll wait as I put in WiFi 6E last year. I get 500-800mbps. I positioned 3 units through out. My laptops support WiFi 6 and 6E. So…no reason to upgrade since they cannot hit the higher speeds without direct line or adapter.

Even Wifi 6E devices are way too expensive still, especially considering how poor 6GHz range is without a mesh system. I just upgraded to a new router since my old one would bottleneck my internet connection on wired, not because I needed faster wifi speeds.
