New Wi-Fi standards are introduced every few years, and a lot of meticulous work goes into their development. Wi-Fi 7 is the latest standard and made its first appearance on some routers and smartphones in 2023, even though its development, especially on the non-technical side, wasn't fully completed and is not expected to finish until late 2024.
