iPhone 17 vs. iPhone 16 Wi-Fi Speeds: New Study Reveals the Winner

Note that getting those top speeds probably means you are in the very same room as the router as 6GHz doesn't work so well through walls.

I'm getting that speed at 5 GHz Wi-Fi Channels 44 and 157. And that's through several walls from the router location in the family room.

While the speeds are faster, the connection is less stable. CarPlay and Airplay have issues staying connected to the 17s vs older non apple chips. 26.1 made it a little better but it is still not a constant connection.
