WiFi 6 (5G) is already being made obsolete

CNET.com has an article which highlites a future of confusion.

The first expected improvement will give Wi-Fi 6 more capacity, with new airwaves that US and European governments are likely to open up for radio transmission as soon as next year. Second, an update to Wi-Fi 6 in 2022 should improve its speeds, especially for people uploading data like videos from phones or PCs. Third, and perhaps most interesting, is a collection of Wi-Fi upgrades expected in 2024 and still known only by its technical name of 802.11be.

The engineers are having fun, the chip providers will be rolling in dough, and the consumer gets to go shopping shopping and shopping.

IMO, there's only one way to manage your budget -- buy what you like and use it until it dies and then go looking for a more modern upgrade.

You know, technology has already far outpaced the what the typical user can get out of it. I have systems that have far more ram, hdd capacity, speed,etc, than what I will ever use or need.
