Yeah, at some point soon I'll have to go upgrade my APs at home with Wifi 7 ones, currently running a Unifi mix, with them all backhauled through Cat6 and PoE.
It's interesting to see wireless moving faster than ethernet now although it'll be hard to ditch the need for physically connecting APs for reliability and performance guarantees vs meshing them.
Internally I do have everyone's MacBooks backup with TimeMachine to a local Samba share. That's on a 2.5Gbps NIC and on NVMes, so theoretically all pushing performance limits. In reality we're just not pushing that much data between machines though, at least compared to streaming and gaming.
The bandwidth estimates were copied straight from ChatGPT, and over time will obviously improve. Things like GForceNow also present interesting opportunities to use the lowest latency and highest bandwidth connections upstream to ISPs, and then like you said, Steamboxes or Moonlight within the house. Ultimately though, I hate supporting IT at home, so would rather just buy an Xbox for the kids than build and support a gaming PC and moonlight.
