Yep, there is barely any dust on your WiFi 7 devices, and yet now the road is being paved towards the 8th generation of Wi-Fi. WiFi 8 refers to the upcoming IEEE 802.11bn generation, where the stated emphasis is improving reliability in difficult real-world conditions such as congestion, interference from neighboring networks, mobility between access points, and performance at the edges of coverage, rather than raising peak theoretical link rates. At CES 2026, ASUS presented the ROG NeoCore as a WiFi 8 concept router and used it to frame WiFi 8 as a shift toward more predictable everyday behavior, including steadier mid-range throughput, more dependable low power device connectivity, and reduced tail latency. ASUS also characterized the current stage as prototype and draft development, meaning performance figures and feature behavior should be treated as preliminary and dependent on implementation and environment.
| Topic | What is known so far |
|---|---|
| IEEE designation | WiFi 8 is based on IEEE 802.11bn under an “Ultra High Reliability (UHR)” direction |
| Stated design priority | Reliability in challenging conditions (congested, interference-prone, mobile, and edge-coverage scenarios) |
| Quantified UHR targets (scope-level) | Up to 25% higher throughput in challenging signal conditions; up to 25% lower latency at the 95th percentile; up to 25% fewer dropped packets during transitions between access points |
| Key capability areas highlighted | Seamless roaming, improved edge performance, and multi-access-point coordination |
| Early vendor positioning (ASUS) | Draft-based claims versus WiFi 7: up to 2x higher mid-range throughput, 2x wider IoT coverage, up to 6x lower P99 latency via smarter multi-AP and multi-client operation |
| Early vendor test claim (ASUS) | In a described real-world throughput test using a draft-spec WiFi 8 router versus an otherwise comparable WiFi 7 router, ASUS reports more than 10% throughput improvement without loss of data speed |
| Standard timing (publicly stated) | WiFi 8 is expected to be finalized in 2028, with multiple references indicating late 2028 |
| Product availability signals | ASUS states it plans its first lineup of WiFi 8 home routers and mesh systems in 2026 (plan, not a finalized standard milestone) |
WiFi 8 is the next planned generation of WiFi under IEEE 802.11bn, positioned around “Ultra High Reliability” rather than a primary focus on raising maximum theoretical data rates. The intent is to make wireless performance more predictable in the conditions that typically cause instability, including long distances from the access point, heavy contention from many simultaneous devices, and interference from overlapping networks in dense housing or office environments.
A key theme associated with WiFi 8 is increased coordination across access points and connected clients. Instead of treating each access point as an isolated transmitter competing for airtime, WiFi 8 is described as enabling access points to cooperate more directly on scheduling and interference management. In practical terms, this is meant to reduce latency spikes, improve consistency when multiple devices are active at the same time, and reduce disruptions during roaming events as clients move between access points.
WiFi 8 is also discussed as addressing weaknesses that show up with low power or edge devices, where the uplink from device to router is often the limiting factor for stability. By improving how devices use available spectrum and how the network allocates airtime, WiFi 8 is framed as improving steady connectivity for IoT-class devices and “always on” endpoints in difficult placements. Vendor messaging also links this reliability profile to AI-driven environments, where repeated small delays, packet loss, or brief disconnects can be more disruptive than a lower peak throughput number.
WiFi 6 and WiFi 6E are generally associated with capacity and efficiency improvements over earlier generations through features like OFDMA and expanded MU-MIMO, with WiFi 6E adding access to the 6 GHz band in supported regions. WiFi 7 shifted attention toward higher throughput and lower latency potential through wider channels (up to 320 MHz) and Multi-Link Operation (MLO), aiming to increase peak performance and improve responsiveness when devices and access points can use multiple links effectively. WiFi 8 keeps many of WiFi 7’s headline building blocks, but the stated emphasis changes toward more deterministic behavior under load, in dense radio environments, and during multi-access-point operation. In the provided material, WiFi 8 is positioned as adding coordination features that are not part of WiFi 7, with the goal of improving mid-range performance consistency and reducing tail latency metrics (for example, high-percentile latency behavior) rather than changing maximum theoretical data rates.
| Category | WiFi 8 | WiFi 7 | WiFi 6 / 6E |
|---|---|---|---|
| IEEE standard | 802.11bn | 802.11be | 802.11ax |
| Max theoretical data rate | 46 Gbps | 46 Gbps | 9.6 Gbps |
| Bands | 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, 6 GHz | 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, 6 GHz | 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz (6 GHz in 6E) |
| Channel bandwidth | Up to 320 MHz | Up to 320 MHz | Up to 160 MHz (plus 80+80 MHz support) |
| Modulation | 4096-QAM | 4096-QAM | 1024-QAM |
| MU-MIMO | 16×16 | 16×16 | 8×8 |
| Resource units | Multi-RUs | Multi-RUs | Single RU |
| Multi-Link Operation (MLO) | Yes | Yes | No |
| Multi-AP coordination | Yes | No | No |
| DSO / NPCA | Yes | No | No |
| DRU | Yes | No | No |
| Security | WPA3 | WPA3 | WPA3 |
From an upgrade standpoint, the most direct “spec” differences between WiFi 8 and WiFi 7 are not listed as new bands or higher top-line channel width, but additional coordination and scheduling mechanisms that are intended to improve real-world outcomes in multi-router, multi-client environments. WiFi 6 and WiFi 6E remain relevant for environments that primarily need better capacity and efficiency for mixed-device networks, while WiFi 7 targets higher performance for compatible devices, and WiFi 8 is framed as refining how that performance holds up across tougher conditions.
The ASUS ROG NeoCore is a WiFi 8 concept router shown publicly as a prototype demonstration unit. ASUS positions it as an early platform for demonstrating draft WiFi 8 capabilities in a real environment, rather than a finalized consumer product with locked specifications. In the video discussion, ASUS staff described NeoCore as a prototype name for the concept device and noted that detailed hardware specifications and confirmed configurations were not available at the time.

The concept is presented as part of the broader ASUS mesh and optimization stack. ASUS ties NeoCore to AiMesh, which is its approach to linking multiple access points into a coordinated system, and to an “AI Network Engine” described as monitoring traffic and adjusting resource allocation to manage throughput and latency. In this framing, the router is less about a single access point’s peak output and more about how multiple access points and clients can coordinate to reduce interference and contention.

NeoCore is also used to illustrate the practical motivation for WiFi 8 in dense and mixed-device environments. The device was discussed in the context of apartment-style “noisy” wireless conditions, long-distance or edge-of-property placement, and smart home endpoints that may have weaker uplink capability than the router itself. In the accompanying CES material, ASUS connects the concept device to early throughput testing and to draft-based claims about improved mid-range performance and reduced high-percentile latency, while stating that results and features depend on draft specifications and implementation details.
WiFi 8 (IEEE 802.11bn) is still in development, with public materials commonly pointing to standard finalization in 2028, often described as late 2028. Until ratification, feature definitions and mandatory versus optional elements can change, so any current demonstrations should be treated as draft implementations rather than a finalized reference for the standard. On the product side, ASUS has stated plans to introduce its first WiFi 8 home routers and mesh systems in 2026, and it has already shown prototype demo hardware at CES 2026. If WiFi 8 consumer products ship ahead of standard finalization, they are expected to rely on draft specifications, meaning real-world behavior can vary by vendor design, firmware maturity, and the availability of WiFi 8 client devices needed to access the full feature set.
WiFi 8 (IEEE 802.11bn) is new-generation wireless technology focused on Ultra-High Reliability (UHR) for better performance, smoother roaming, and smarter router and client coordination. WiFi 8 is still in development. ASUS is demonstrating prototypes and conducting real-world tests to validate the new technology.
The primary difference lies in the core focus of each wireless standard. WiFi 8 represents a strategic shift toward Ultra High Reliability (UHR) and deterministic low latency. In contrast, WiFi 7 prioritizes raw speed and throughput via technologies like MLO and 320MHz channels. WiFi 6/6E focused on efficiency and capacity improvements through OFDMA and MU-MIMO.
Peak theoretical speeds are comparable. The essential difference is that WiFi 8 significantly improves real-world performance by focusing on Ultra High Reliability. It prioritizes stability and smarter spectrum use for advanced router and client coordination, making it a strategic evolution beyond previous standards like WiFi 7.
Yes, WiFi 8 will be fully backward compatible with all previous standards. While full features require WiFi 8 support on both the router and the devices that connect to it, older devices can still benefit from the network’s improved coordination and interference mitigation. WiFi 8 users will get more stable connections and fewer drops on legacy devices facing congestion and signal-strength issues.
WiFi 8 continues to use the 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands with up to 320MHz channels, focusing on smarter coordination and spectrum use.
Multi-AP coordination, including Co-BF, Co-SR, Co-TDMA, NPCA, and improved seamless roaming, reduces interference and contention between overlapping networks.

Vous pensiez que votre PC était blindé avec toutes vos protections activées ? Et bien ça c'était avant que des chercheurs de Riot Games (oui, les mêmes mecs derrière League of Legends et Valorant) ne découvrent une bonne grosse faille UEFI qui touche les cartes mères des quatre plus gros fabricants du marché, à savoir ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI et ASRock.
La faille se décline en plusieurs CVE selon les constructeurs (CVE-2025-11901 pour ASUS, CVE-2025-14302 pour Gigabyte, CVE-2025-14303 pour MSI, CVE-2025-14304 pour ASRock) et concerne les protections DMA au démarrage. En gros, le firmware UEFI prétend activer l' IOMMU (un mécanisme matériel d'isolation mémoire destiné à bloquer les attaques DMA), sauf que dans les faits, il ne le configure pas correctement. Votre système pense être protégé alors qu'il ne l'est pas du tout... Bref ça craint !
Du coup, un attaquant qui branche un périphérique PCIe malveillant sur votre machine (notamment via Thunderbolt ou USB4, qui exposent du PCIe) peut lire ou modifier la mémoire système avant même que Windows ou Linux ne démarre. Donc bien avant que vos protections système n'aient eu le temps de se mettre en place quoi... Et comme l'attaque se déroule avant le chargement de l'OS, les antivirus et outils de sécurité logiciels classiques n'ont pas encore démarré et ne peuvent donc pas intervenir. Seule une mise à jour du firmware UEFI peut corriger le problème.
Côté chipsets touchés, accrochez-vous parce que la liste est longue. Chez Gigabyte, les bulletins de sécurité mentionnent notamment des cartes basées sur les séries Intel Z890, W880, Q870, B860, H810, Z790, B760, Z690, Q670, B660, H610, W790, et côté AMD des X870E, X870, B850, B840, X670, B650, A620, A620A et TRX50.
Chez ASUS, les chipsets concernés incluent les séries B460, B560, B660, B760, H410, H510, H610, H470, Z590, Z690, Z790, W480 et W680.
Et de son côté, ASRock indique que ses cartes mères Intel des séries 500, 600, 700 et 800 sont également affectées. Bref, si vous avez une carte mère relativement récente, il y a de bonnes chances qu'elle soit dans le lot, même si cela dépend du modèle précis et de la version de firmware installée.
Bien sûr, comme souvent avec ce type de faille, son exploitation nécessite un accès physique à la machine, puisqu'il faut connecter un périphérique PCIe capable de mener une attaque DMA (par exemple un dongle Thunderbolt ou une carte PCIe spécialement conçue).
Ce n'est donc pas le genre d'attaque qui se propage via Internet, mais c'est quand même problématique, notamment dans les entreprises qui ont des postes de travail accessibles au public, dans les bibliothèques, ou tout autre environnement partagé. Sans parler de quelqu'un qui aurait un accès temporaire à votre machine genre un réparateur, un collègue malveillant, votre ex un peu trop curieux(se)… Ou encore le marché de l'occasion, où personne ne sait vraiment ce qui a pu être branché sur la carte mère avant.
Petite anecdote au passage, les chercheurs de Riot Games sont tombés sur cette faille parce que Valorant refusait de se lancer sur certains systèmes. Leur anti-cheat Vanguard vérifie que les protections DMA sont bien actives au démarrage, et il a détecté que sur certaines machines, ce n'était pas le cas. De fil en aiguille, ils ont creusé et fini par identifier ce problème côté firmware UEFI.
Bref, les quatre constructeurs ont publié (ou sont en train de publier) des mises à jour de firmware pour corriger le problème. Attention toutefois, chez Gigabyte, le correctif pour TRX50 est prévu pour le premier trimestre 2026, et chez ASRock, les BIOS pour les séries 600/700/800 sont disponibles mais ceux de la série 500 sont encore en cours de développement.
Donc allez faire un tour sur le site support de votre fabricant, vérifiez si votre modèle est concerné, et installez le patch si c'est le cas.
