Using optimization techniques, the wireless spec can support a theoretical top speed of more than 40Gbps, though vendors like Qualcomm suggest 5.8Gbps is a more realistic expectation

That is insane! Not that I would, but this could utilise the full pipe of my home connection on wifi only!

    Raising the maximum possible raises the average as well. Not at the same rates, but there will definitely be improvements in the less visible bits like error correction, accounting for echo, etc.

      Call me sceptical then. We’re pushing Shannon’s law essentially already

        You’re sceptical! 😁

        I’ve not heard of Shannon’s law, but if you’re referring to Shannon-Hartley theorem then, from my brief understanding, wifi 7 will still bring improvements in bandwidth purely from doubling the channel width. Doubling the number of antennas is probably not going to affect home users as those will probably be prohibitively expensive, but enterprise might snatch it up - who knows.
