Wi‑Fi 7 is the next generation of wireless technology. It’s built to meet the growing demands of modern Australian homes with multiple streaming, gaming and other devices and appliances all connected at once.
Here’s how:
- Multi-Link Operation (MLO): Wi‑Fi 7 lets your compatible devices send and receive using multiple frequency bands—like 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz —at the same time. This means smoother performance than our previous modem even when your home is full of connected devices.
- Improved channel coordination: It’s designed to reduce interference from nearby networks and help give you stronger Wi-Fi even in busy apartment blocks or densely populated areas.
Wi‑Fi 7 is backwards compatible with previous generations of Wi-Fi, but you’ll need a compatible Wi-Fi 7 device to take full advantage of the newer benefits.
Compared to our previous modem.
