WiFi 7: Everything you need to know

 

What is WiFi 7? How everything you love works better on WiFi 7 from EE.


WiFi 7 is the latest in broadband technology – and it’s the most powerful ever created. Think of it as what 5G was to 4G – and EE is the first major broadband provider to offer it.

Here you’ll find out all about WiFi 7 and how our new hubs and WiFi extenders give you faster speeds, more consistently – even when you’re further from the hub.

 

 

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WIFI 6 AND WIFI 7?


WiFi 7 dwarfs its former generation, WiFi 6, in every metric. Released in 2019, WiFi 6 offered maximum speeds of up to 9.6 Gbps – that was a huge improvement on the 3.5 Gbps offered by WiFi 5. Now, WiFi 7 offers top speeds of up to 46 Gbps. So, as internet service providers offer faster speeds, you will be able to enjoy them straight away. WiFi 7 offers double the bandwidth to your devices, meaning you can use more of them at the same time, with speeds twice as fast as before. 

 

Get a faster connection than ever before


Speed is the name of the game when it comes to what we want from our connection. So, the fact that WiFi 7 is more than twice as fast as the previous generation, WiFi 6, will be music to your ears.

We’re bringing WiFi 7 into your home through the Smart Hub Pro. It’s super easy to set up and install. Just head to your EE App for the instructions.

 

Get more power with tri-band technology

 

As we said, most routers that are based on WiFi 6 are dual band – our Smart Hub Pro has tri-band technology. This new extra band creates a fast lane for your connection.

That gives you all the bandwidth you need for devices that demand the most from your connection. Think heavy downloading, multiplayer gaming, and multi-colleague conference calls.

 

Get a stronger connection further from the hub

 

All this speed and power WiFi 7 has to offer is harnessed through EE Smart WiFi Pro. It gives you an even stronger and faster connection in every room in your house, whether you’re streaming in the study or browsing in the bathroom. Just remember to play it away from your other electronic devices and in a well-ventilated space.
