What is Wi-Fi 8? And why speed isn't your primary concern with the latest standard

Wi-Fi 8, also known as IEEE 802.11bn or Ultra High Reliability (UHR) Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), is designed to deliver a more consistent and reliable connection rather than focusing on speed. It is expected to offer significant improvements in stability, latency, and MAC frame loss, with the first Wi-Fi 8-compatible products anticipated in early 2028.
