10 meter Performance Wireless WIFI7 802.11be

We'll do the same trick all over again. This time we have approximately 10 meters distance in between the router and client, the WIFI signal needs to pass through walls. Our office is well insulated isolated. So you can compare these test results to passing through a floor accessing WIFI in your bedroom/work room/study etc.

Before we begin I'd like to show you regular WIFI6 performance on single band AX wifi based on a recent Ryzen build with WIFI 6E.


Above: from Left to right, 2400 MHz, 5000 MHz and 6000 Mhz bands, this is your typical WIFI coverage in a house.

Below then we'll enable WIFI7 with the new BE protocol based on a Z790 / Core i9 14900K setup. Watch and observe. Both test setups have the very same distance to AP.

Above 10 meter distance throughput (2.4 GHz connection selected) WIFI7 MLO activated. 

2024_02_06_12_47_22_guru3d

Above 10 meters throughput (5 GHz connection selected)

2024_02_06_13_11_43_guru3d

Above 10 meters throughput (6GHz connection selected - Channel width 160 + MLO) 

2024_02_06_14_46_56_guru3d

Above 10 meters throughput (6GHz connection selected - Channel width 320 + MLO)

As you can see, at a 6 GHz connection with the BE Wifi7 configuration enabled, we're still remarkably faster than your average 1 Gigabit connection. WI-Fi 7 opens up a lot of new options and possibilities. Again, 10 meters passing through walls ...  almost 1.8 Gbps throughput.
