> While some draft specifications could be released in 2027, the official Wi-Fi 8 standard is projected to be finalized only in mid-2028. Commercial products that officially support the new standard are not expected to reach the market until late 2028 at the earliest.
I bet companies will release WiFi 8 products even when it's still a draft, just as they did with WiFI 7.
I upgraded my home setup to WiFi 7 a few weeks ago, and after being a WiFi hater for so long, was actually surprised at how much better it was over my previous experiences with WiFi. With MLO clients get 2-3ms latency with 2.5Gbit links, I'm all for WiFi 8 trying to reduce the latency further, I don't need more speed.

I have a computer with a 1G Ethernet phy designed before everything was ratified. Not great. I'll make sure to wait

No need to be left behind. They can already release WiFi 9 products. /s
