Increasing the antenna availability increases available airtime in a given band, reducing the airtme 'load' of IoT and similar devices on the spectrum. This alone would be a dramatic improvement, but increasing the modulation by a factor of 4 should dramatically reduce airtime utilization for normal client loads, regardless of available upstream bandwidth, resulting in more airtime for everyone else and dramatically improving wifi performance in congested environments, assuming access points are designed with sufficient memory to allow for buffering frames in this manner.
Wifi7 should be as big an improvement as 11b to 11g, assuming the hardware vendors don't shit the bed on it.
Thanks for expanding on this! Very helpful!
