Only upgraded from Wi-Fi 4 (which I had since 2015) to Wi-Fi 6 recently. Most routers that support 160 MHz are twice the price of 80 MHz counterparts. 6E with its 6 GHz is another third of the price.
Wi-Fi adoption is usually extremely slow. Wi-Fi 4 was already 6 years old, but my router was the first in the apartment building to use 5 GHz.
To this day 2.4 GHz has wider adoption in my apartment building than 5 GHz. And my Wi-Fi is the only one with WPA3, which is already 6.5 years old standard.
I wonder when will we see wide adoption of Wi-Fi 8 - 15 years from now?
I think you’re spot on with the 15 years prediction. It’s only when they sort out things that matter to the layman like range and signal through walls that people will abandon 2.4
