Wi-Fi 8 will not improve transfer speeds — the new standard will, however, enhance reliability and user experience
User experience is the key.
The Coordinated Spatial Reuse (Co-SR) feature addresses varying signal strength between nearby devices and distant access points in high-density office scenarios. Wi-Fi 8 will also incorporate refined data rates with additional levels in the Modulation Coding Scheme (MCS) lookup table, allowing devices to make smoother transitions in connection quality as they move through different areas. By adding finer gradations, such as a 16-QAM coding rate, Wi-Fi 8's MCS promises to reduce sudden drops in datarates, enhancing overall transmission stability and improving bandwidth by 5% to 30%, depending on the exact scenario.
