The Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro have now turned up on the FCC's database, just over a month before their official launches alongside the Pixel Watch 2. So far, the FCC has outlined five model number variants, all without rumoured Wi-Fi 7 connectivity.

So according to an FCC filing the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro will support Wi-Fi 6E but not the newer Wi-Fi 7.

For a comparison, you can get a max speed of 9.6 Gb/s with Wi-Fi 6E, while Wi-Fi 7 can reach a speed of 46 Gb/s.

    Seriously this. The next gen routers are pretty expensive.

    I can see in the next 3-4 years where it’s more affordable. For most of the population, they absolutely not ready for this.
