TP-Link says it has made history by completing the first Wi-Fi 8 data transmission with a prototype device. The test validated both beacon and throughput functionality, signaling that the next generation of wireless tech is already taking shape.
The milestone comes even as most consumers haven’t yet upgraded to Wi-Fi 7, which already delivers extremely high speeds and reliability. Some argue the industry is pushing new standards too quickly, leaving real-world adoption lagging far behind.
