It seems like just yesterday that Wi-Fi 6 was the wireless standard everyone was talking about. While Wi-Fi 7 is now the buzzy technology, Wi-Fi 6 routers still hit the sweet spot of price and performance for many people. Wi-Fi 7-compatible devices like the new iPhone 16 are slowly becoming more prevalent, but most Wi-Fi 7 routers are still prohibitively expensive. Wi-Fi 6 is compatible with almost every newer device, like the Apple TV 4K and the PlayStation 5 console, and it will still work fine with Wi-Fi 7 devices like the iPhone 16.
