WiFi 7 is the new WiFi standard for the internet that delivers faster speeds, greater efficiency, and seamless connectivity. Also called Extremely High Throughput (EHT), WiFi WiFi 7 employs an all-new bandwidth plus cutting-edge technologies to increase network capacity and reduce latency for a quantum leap into the future of wireless networking.

The Next Frontier in Connectivity: WiFi 7 Explained

WiFi 7 supersedes earlier WiFi 5, WiFi 6, and WiFi 6E standards. Each new WiFi standard showcases advances in WiFi technology and performance, overseen by the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) and the WiFi Alliance. The latest WiFi standard is IEEE P802.11be, or WiFi 7.

WiFi 7 mesh technical breakthroughs benefit NETGEAR Orbi 970 Whole Home WiFi 7 Mesh Systems include 320 MHz bandwidth, 27 Gbps max WiFi speed, quad-band WiFi with dedicated backhaul, and the ability to support 200+ connected devices in concurrent use. WiFi 7 is the next frontier in connectivity for streaming, conferencing, gaming, and more.

What is WiFi 7?
WiFi 7 is the newest, most advanced WiFi standard. It’s designed to be faster, more efficient, and more reliable than any previous WiFi generation, making it ideal for demanding tasks like streaming high-definition videos, online gaming, and connecting a large number of devices simultaneously. WiFi 7 utilizes wider channels, more efficient data transmission, and multi-band connectivity to achieve its incredible speed and performance.

WiFi 7 Mesh: Transforming Your Online Experience

Next-generation WiFi 7 mesh is blazing-fast internet is for WiFi 7-enabled devices and smart home applications. Each new WiFi standard builds upon the best existing technologies from WiFi 6E, along with introducing some unique WiFi 7.0 advancements. WiFi 7 Orbi mesh systems are simple to set up and use, but there are some amazing next-generation WiFi technologies involved. These WiFi 7.0 features work seamlessly in the background, improving your online experience in lots of ways. Here are six WiFi 7 UK advantages.

Wider WiFi Channel Frequency Bands

Wide WiFi 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands are typically split into multiple 20 MHz channels. The channels can also be combined to create wider 40 MHz and 80 MHz channels. WiFi 7 taps into the 6 GHz band and the ability to support 320 MHz channels. Wide WiFi channels allow WiFi 7 to transmit double the data rates of WiFi 6E.

Higher Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM)

Orbi 970 WiFi 7 supports 4096-QAM (4K QAM), up from 1024 QAM with WiFi 6E. Higher QAM means more information can be transmitted to client devices. 4096-QAM alone can result in a 20% performance improvement, and NETGEAR Orbi Mesh WiFi 7 makes it happen.

Multi-Link Operation

Multi-Link Operation (MLO) is a huge Orbi 970 WiFi 7 advantage. Previous WiFi standards, including tri-band WiFi 6E, use single-band connections between routers and satellites, but WiFi 7 MLO uses both 6GHz and 5GHz bands allowing devices to transmit data across both bands, increasing performance.

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA)

First introduced with WiFi 6, Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) is a technology that improves wireless performance by establishing independent subcarriers within frequencies. This allows simultaneous transmissions to and from multiple clients.

Preamble Puncturing

With earlier WiFi versions, the entire WiFi channel would become unavailable for additional devices if any part of the channel becomes unavailable. WiFi 7 Preamble Puncturing solves that problem by splitting parts of the channel interference, allowing more devices to connect, with less interference.

Target Wake Time

This new WiFi 7.0 feature allows you to reserve bandwidth for specific devices. Target Wake Time will guarantee bandwidth when you need it for video conferencing, multi-player gaming, downloading large files, or operating smart home IoT gadgets even while other people on your network are hooked up to the internet.

Blazing Speeds Beyond Imagination

Imagine downloading massive files in minutes or streaming multiple 8K videos simultaneously. Next-generation WiFi 7 mesh makes it possible with blazing fast internet speeds of up to 27Gbps. When it comes to maximum speeds, WiFi 7 is a game-changer that outpaces the capabilities of WiFi 6. For internet device users, this translates to smoother streaming, more channel width, faster downloads, and backward device compatibility for a responsive online experience.

Unwavering Stability in a Connected World
