Discover the Future of Connectivity with WiFi 7 Mesh
WiFi 7 is the latest WiFi standard, building upon the advancements of WiFi 6 and WiFi 6E. A WiFi 7 mesh system offers whole-home WiFi coverage, transforming an ordinary home into a future-proof smart home. These mesh systems connect your devices, appliances, and gadgets into a unified network where everyone has their own online space for work or play.
Introducing WiFi 7
Also known as Extremely High Throughput (EHT), WiFi 7 utilises the new 6GHz bandwidth along with cutting-edge technologies to increase network capacity and reduce latency. WiFi 7 represents a significant leap forward in wireless networking, enabling high-demand applications such as virtual reality and augmented reality systems to operate seamlessly. It’s a natural evolution from previous mesh WiFi standards and offers true next-generation WiFi for a wide range of devices and applications.
Key Features of WiFi 7
High-speed WiFi 7 can handle multiple connected devices simultaneously. The best tri-band and quad-band WiFi 7 systems are feature-rich and support high-definition streaming, multiplayer gaming, remote conferencing, and more. Key features of WiFi 7 include:
- Faster Multi-Gigabit Speeds: Up to 27Gbps to power your entire home network.
- Ultra Low Latency: Enhanced gaming and streaming performance.
- Expanded Network Capacity: Utilising the 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands with enhanced backhaul.
- Advanced Security: The latest security protocols to protect your network.
Transformative WiFi 7 includes Multi-Link Operation (MLO) technology, allowing devices to send and receive data simultaneously across different frequency channels. WiFi 7 introduces 4K-QAM modulation for a 20% improvement in spectral efficiency and data rates. It captures 320MHz bandwidth, compared to 160MHz with WiFi 6. The Mbps performance of WiFi 5 has been surpassed by the Gbps speeds of WiFi 7. The future of mesh network capability is here with NETGEAR.
What Makes WiFi 7 Mesh So Innovative?
There are numerous benefits to WiFi 7 mesh systems. NETGEAR Orbi WiFi mesh blankets your entire home with blazing-fast WiFi. The main router and satellites communicate as a synchronised unit, and your devices automatically connect to the satellite with the strongest signal and fastest speed as you move around your home. Say goodbye to WiFi dead zones, allowing you to choose your favourite spot for online activities—whether that’s in your home office or relaxing on the veranda.
Mesh WiFi is scalable. With more people working from home and reliable internet needed for study, hobbies, and entertainment, NETGEAR Orbi WiFi 7 mesh systems are the solution. Orbi mesh provides consistent signal strength, allowing you to connect devices throughout your home, from the front door to the backyard barbecue area. The Orbi 970 WiFi 7 systems are ideal for large homes and expansive layouts common in Australian suburbs. Whether you’re setting up your first WiFi network or upgrading, consider NETGEAR Orbi for next-generation networking.
How Is WiFi 7 Bandwidth Improved?
WiFi 7 doubles the bandwidth to 320MHz compared to 160MHz with WiFi 6. NETGEAR WiFi 7 mesh features intelligent bandwidth allocation, with a band reserved for enhanced dedicated backhaul. Another feature, Preamble Puncturing, allows your router to utilise portions of a channel even if part of it is already in use. Previously, if a portion of a channel was occupied, the entire channel would be unavailable for other connections. Orbi WiFi 7 offers faster multi-gig speeds and greater reliability over wider networks with more devices. WiFi 7 provides future-proof networking, including strict parental controls to ensure everyone in your network is safe from online intrusions.
