What is WiFi 7?
WiFi 7 is the upcoming WiFi standard, also known as IEEE 802.11be Extremely High Throughput (EHT). It works across all three bands (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz) to fully utilize spectrum resources. While WiFi 6 was built in response to the growing number of devices in the world, WiFi 7’s goal is to deliver astounding speeds for every device with greater efficiency. If you’re struggling with constant buffering, lag, or congestion, a WiFi 7 router may be your best solution.
WiFi 7 introduces 320 MHz ultra-wide bandwidth, 4096-QAM, Multi-RU, and Multi-Link Operation to provide speeds 4.8× faster than WiFi 6 and 13× faster than WiFi 5. Unlock more scenarios than ever before.
What WiFi 7 Offers?
With the upcoming 7th generation of WiFi, the ultimate online experience will be unleashed.
- 4.8× FasterWiFi 7 accelerates throughput up to 46 Gbps.
- 100× Lower Latency*Worst Case Latency is 100× better compared to WiFi 6 with 15× better AR/VR performance.
- 5× Network Capacity*With 320 MHz and MLO (Multi-Link Operation), WiFi 7 provides up to 5× greater capacity than WiFi 6.
What’s Different from the Previous Generations?
Although WiFi 6 provided 37% faster speeds, it was not as impactful as the 10-fold rate increase that WiFi 5 brought. The difference stemmed from the original intention of the WiFi 6 project, which aimed to improve efficiency rather than data rates. WiFi 7, on the other hand, is designed for a generation of higher throughput.
WiFi 7 makes giant strides in throughput — 480% more than previous generations. Thanks to backward compatibility a WiFi 7 router opens up your entire home to the latest online experiences.
Higher Speed, Lower Latency, More Reliable
Multi-Link Operation
Traditional WiFi devices use a single link to transmit data. With Multi-Link Operation (MLO), WiFi 7 enables devices to simultaneously send and receive data across different frequency bands and channels to increase throughput, reduce latency, and improve reliability for emerging applications like VR/AR, online gaming, remote offices, and cloud computing.
