    Wifi 6 has become pretty affordable but the high speed 6E is still super expensive.

    Is 7 an innovation or just more antennas and processing power usage?

      The biggest change is the ability to use 2.4, 5 and 6 ghz frequencies at the same time with Multi-link operation, which is just a fancy name for link aggregation.

      Add that with the “normal” new things that come to new versions and I think a 2 or 3 gigabit, maybe 5 in good real world conditions, WiFi connection is totally possible.
