The article is about how new products are getting support for Wifi 7, so probably none of your current devices.

My comment was more a rebuke at the headline than the article

That's basically CES in a nutshell. Nearly everything shown off won't be useful for years.

The headline seems to be targeted at dedicated Verge readers who know that AI is the current big buzzword at CES, they are likely a bit tired of it, and are interested in something that's not AI.
