Huzzah! I’m mostly hyped for improved OFDMA and MLO. The article mentions that better congestion handling helps in enterprise and large deployments, but doesn’t mention that these features can also help a lot in other crowded situations like dense apartment buildings. You just gotta get your neighbors to upgrade to WiFi 6 or higher though.
I’ve been on WiFi 7 since January and seen a 10-15% reduction in spectrum usage consumed by other APs interfering in our dense building. A good number of our neighbors are on WiFi 6 which might have something to do with them being mostly students who just went out to buy a new router for their apartment after leaving home. As far as I’ve seen none of my neighbors are on 6E but I don’t expect to ever see much 6GHz interference since it barely makes it through a single wall - which is fine for me because none of our rooms are more than 1 wall from the AP.
