Understanding Wi-Fi 4/5/6/6E/7/8 (802.11 n/ac/ax/be/bn)

Also, highly recommend this site for info for home wifi improvements: www.wiisfi.com

Ikea are releasing the ALPSTUGA next month, which will be matter over thread and cheaper than similar speced devices. Haven't seen reviews of it yet though.
