Wifi 6 can do up to 4.8Gbps. Even at half of that, you're going to be limited by a 2Gbps fiber line.

The real use is transferring huge files within the LAN.

wifi 6 can’t do shit given that there’s crazy overlap if you go for 80MHz channels. Most situations tap out around 700Mbps over usually a 40MHz channel.

Wifi 6e/7 6GHz band with a bunch of non overlapping 160MHz channels is where the juice is at. But even then a lot of devices are limited to smaller channel widths.
