Microsoft released the26063build to the Canary channel (the Dev won’t get the same build, as Microsoft said they’re testing servicing updates for the channel), and with this build, the Redmond-based tech giant introduces Wi-Fi 7 to Windows 11.

With Wi-Fi 7, you can enjoy multi-gigabit speeds on your Windows PC and experience up to 4x faster speeds than Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E, and close to 6x faster than Wi-Fi 5. You can also enjoy significantly lower latency, which improves the responsiveness and performance of real-time activities like gaming and video conferencing. Please note that performance may vary by manufacturer and hardware device capabilities.
Users will need a Wi-Fi 7 capable consumer access point and PC, but Microsoft says many of their ecosystem partners have already launched on the market, so Wi-Fi 7 is expected to become the new standard.
