We have upgraded our access points and started to broadcast WiFi 7 at 6-GHz now.
WiFi 6 used to be only available in the lounge area before, but now WiFi 6 and 7 can be reached all around West Quay Offices with the new upgraded access points.
WiFi 7 should also be a lot smarter than previous standards, thanks to a feature called multilink operation. This allows wireless devices to send and receive data over three bands (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, or 6 GHz), shifting at any time, based on traffic and speed. It also offers low latency and reliability, which is less of a headache for all of us.
Now let’s say you have an important Zoom call for work and it’s just about to start. With WiFi 7, our router will be able to determine which of the three bands is the least crowded and direct your Zoom call to that band—without you having to do anything on your own—making for a smoother and more stable experience.
To fully reap the benefits of WiFi 7, you need devices that are fully compatible with the standard and those are slowly making their way into the marketplace. The devices you already own will “top out” at WiFi 6, WiFi 6e, or whatever version of WiFi they’re certified for.
