The main frequency bands of WiFi 7 are from 1Ghz to 7.25Ghz, and the main frequency bands of WiFi 6 are also included.

3. Channel bandwidth

WiFi6 has 20, 40, 80, 80+80, 160Mhz.

WiFi7 is up to 320Mhz.

4. Modulation mode

WiFi6 is 1024 QAM with OFDMA

WiFi7 is 4096QAM with OFDMA

5. MIMO

WiFi6 supports MU-MIMO, as well as 8 streams of data synchronization.

WiFi7 supports CMU-MIMO, as well as 16 streams of synchronization.

6. Standards

WiFi6 is IEEE 802.11ax
