No doubt the routers will still feature 1 gig eth at the back though lol
Recently got myself a 6E and reckon that’ll be enough for a while
Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) theoretical maximum data rate is up to 46 Gbps

It’s fibre from the home to your provider. New Zealand's current international connectivity is provided by three under-sea fibre optic cables with a combined total throughput of 73 terabits per second.
While we're on the topic of nonsense numbers Wolfram Alpha estimates that to be 14 megabits per person
Or it could be gigabits available to any person. Since it would be 14 megabits per person per second right, assuming 100% utilisation?

Many come with SFP ports for this reason now

I merely told it to divide 73 terabits by the population of New Zealand and to express that in megabits. So yeah no consideration of usage patterns: "nonsense numbers" just like the supposed 46G wifi this story is about.

#26Great - that will certainly be beneficial for everyone with 47Gbps internet lines. Could we have some innovation in the direction of coping with congested RF, please.

On consumer gear?
Well, its consumer level price https://www.amazon.com/MikroTik-Gigabit-Ethernet-Router-RB76...

No I mean router with wifi.
Consumer gear frequently says 4+ gbps on the box as aggregate wifi speeds...but its all GbE ports at the back. Not entirely a lie but pretty damn close.
The ones with 10GbE connectivity and 6E are all marketed as "gaming" and cost stupid amounts. Plus frankly are just ugly too e.g.

I do agree that all these numbers are pretty meaningless . Somehow truth in advertising laws don't apply to many of these claims. Only seen the Australian regulator really crack down on it.

What do you think happens when everyone can transmit packets an order of magnitude faster, even if they're not transmitting at the line rate of the link? Average channel utilization drops precipitously and the transmit rates improve in aggregate for everyone. Not to mention governments are opening up 1200MHz of spectrum on the 6GHz band (Wi-Fi 6E and 7) which is helping in heavily congested areas on its own.

Just don't come with metallic objects nearby.
