What is WiFi 7?

Not all WiFi is created equal. As of 2024, WiFi 7 is the latest WiFi standard, and it introduces several new features and advancements such as improvements to speed, range, and the number of devices that can connect.

WiFi 7 promises to be much faster and support more devices than previous WiFi standards. WiFi 7 isn’t just about speed—it’s about enabling a new wave of technologies and lifestyles that rely on fast, dependable, and efficient wireless connectivity.

What Does that Mean for Your Home?

Increased speed and efficiency: Faster wireless speeds, hitting a maximum of 9.6 Gbps.

Lower latency for real-time applications: Wi-Fi 7 4K QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) enables each signal to carry more data, quicker. The result is a faster connection speed with less latency and lag. For avid gamers, those who work from home, and live video streaming, Wi-Fi 7 delivers real-time responsiveness and speeds.

Connect Your Whole Home

Greater capacity for more devices: WiFi 7 has double the bandwidth (320 MHz channels in 6 Ghz) of Wi-Fi 6, so it can handle more internet traffic at faster speeds. WiFi 7 offers enough bandwidth to deliver smooth performance for up to 200 connected devices depending on the router or system.

Enhanced WiFi Stability and Reliability

Multi-link operation (MLO) allows WiFi 7 to connect to multiple channels at once, improving the connection’s stability.

More than just faster speed, WiFi 7 improves on various performance metrics over WiFi 6. All Mediacom internet tiers come with WiFi 7 capable eero devices, so you can get the most out of your high-speed internet. 

In their white paper, eero showed vast improvements over WiFi 6.
