Wi-Fi 7 is much faster than the Wi-Fi 6 used today, and more data is piped to more devices, all without compromising each other's experience. Single serial port server When you want to watch a game upstairs while your partner streams a movie in the den and the kids play "Star Wars" in a VR headset in the bedroom, you'll also have these simultaneous operations without any buffering issues.
Specific advantages and features of Wi-Fi 7:
① Faster speed It is hard to imagine that Wi-Fi 7 has such a large speed upgrade. Because theoretically speaking, the quadruple speed jump from a top speed of 9.6 Gbps to 46 Gbps is extreme. Secondly, the current Wi-Fi6 is relatively able to meet the current transmission needs, why would such a high-speed version of wireless technology be launched? The table below shows the speed difference between Wi-Fi 6 (2019) and Wi-Fi 7 (2024). This extra speed will open up entirely new ways to use the internet. For example, you can virtually try on a pair of shoes or glasses, and it will give you a "real feel" of trying it on, so that you will save a lot of time and money during the shopping process.
②Lower latency Compared with Wi-Fi 6, the latency of Wi-Fi 7 is much lower. While quadrupling the speed is a big leap, the increased speed has a big domino effect on latency, the kind of lag you experience when conferencing, gaming, and streaming. According to Microsoft, you'll see 100x lower latency in general, and 15x lower latency in VR, which drastically reduces loading and buffering times. The dramatic drop in latency has far-reaching practical applications to create incredibly immersive web experiences. Wi-Fi 7's wider 320 MHz channels and unlicensed 6 GHz band will give you richer (and less glitchy) real-world gaming, remote work, healthcare, and education experiences than you're used to now.
③Multi-link function Although Wi-Fi 6 can provide services for multiple devices such as laptops, mobile phones, and tablets at the same time, this kind of signal sharing is very convenient, but it will cause delay problems. In this regard, Wi-Fi 7 is obviously better. That's because Wi-Fi 6 uses MU-MIMO technology, which supports up to four devices at a time. MU-MIMO technology splits a single signal into smaller signals, which means multiple devices share the same signal. In contrast, Wi-Fi 7 uses multi-link operation, with multiple signals to support multiple devices. Therefore, Wi-Fi 7 routers will prioritize unused channels. As you add more and more devices to the network, wireless routers fall back to MU-MIMO technology to share channels.
④Higher data transmission quality Wi-Fi 6 relies on 1024-QAM to use radio signals more efficiently to send and receive more data. This 1K QAM architecture makes Wi-Fi 6 25% faster than Wi-Fi 5. 4G/Cat-1/NB DTU In a massive upgrade, Wi-Fi 7 uses 4K QAM, which is four times faster than Wi-Fi 6E. As a Wi-Fi 7 modem user, the higher QAM isn't a perk for you, but the "reason" behind the standard's faster speeds.
