I really really hope wifi7 makes this situation much better, with AP better able to allocate clients across multiple bands. Being able to have more than one client at once should be a huge upgrade for latency, can hopefully drastically increase airtime availability.


Borderline off-topic, but on Linux I've had a terrible time with getting wireless controllers to work, until discovering the 8bitdo usb adapter. Xbox controller paired to one of those adapters has been a game changer (pun intended).


Funnily enough I haven't been getting the original Xbox Series Controller USB dongle to work on Windows (not even with the "airplane mode workaround"). Worked with xone.

On Windows bluetooth pairing works though.
