Spoilers: it won't: noisy neighbours, congested bands, and actual real world mean getting more than what we are already getting is next to impossible. Because basically those same factors are holding back even top speeds of wifi5, nevermind 6/6E
It’s not relevant anyway most people only have a gigabit as that’s more than enough for home users WiFi 6 and WiFi 6E are already great.
And how many devices even are on 80MHz nevermind the 160? Essentially the bands are too tight, with too few channels already, so wider channels aren't going to help that either
That is true but since I got all WiFi 6 compatible device beam forming in my case of apt makes up for it makes the signal and speed way better.
Internet connectivity isn't the only reason for faster networking speeds. A faster local wireless connection still has reasonable applications.
Not saying that I'll jump on board with upgrading all of my devices for the new annual wifi standard, but it's still cool that things are improving.
All my devices are already WiFi 6 compatible I really like beam forming my old router didn’t have this and I could tell the difference right away as I live in a apt speed and signal is way better.
