Windows 11 Is Quietly Mandating Enterprise Wi-Fi 7 Support

In this episode of The Windows Podcast with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore Microsoft's quiet move to require Wi-Fi 7 support in Windows 11 enterprise devices starting in late 2026. They break down what Wi-Fi 7 brings — theoretical speeds up to 46 Gbps, multi-link operation combining 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz bands, and 4096-QAM modulation — and why Microsoft is making it a hardware certification requirement rather than just a soft recommendation. Lucas connects the dots to the broader push for cloud-only identity, device attestation, and zero-trust networking: a faster, more reliable wireless link means IT can offload more traffic to the cloud without worrying about dropouts. They also discuss the practical implications for enterprise IT teams — upgrading access points, ensuring driver compatibility, and the looming decision to skip Wi-Fi 6E entirely in some environments.
