It does exist, its called 801.11ah or wifi HaLow
That standard is mainly designed for things like IOT and wireless security cameras, but nothing stops you from getting an HaLow access point and network adapter.

We are at the 7 the iteration. A no half a mile range for my home modem?

But it can’t be very useful if my smartphone doesn’t support it. I think it was designed for a different kind of use.

If you’re already on a smart phone it has technology to do that. It’s called a cellular connection. LTE and 5G are incredible for taking a tiny slab with you miles away from your home.

More bandwidth/speed requires higher frequencies, which means ever worse range as it can’t go through stuff like walls.
