Discover the key differences between WiFi 6 and WiFi 7, including speed, bandwidth, efficiency, and more. Learn how WiFi 7's advancements can improve your internet experience.
WiFi 7 offers theoretical speeds up to 46 Gbps, significantly faster than WiFi 6's 9.6 Gbps.
WiFi 7 uses the 6 GHz band, in addition to 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, for more bandwidth and less congestion.
WiFi 7 promises lower latency, enhancing experiences for gaming and real-time applications compared to WiFi 6.
WiFi 7 introduces Multi-Link Operation (MLO) for using multiple bands simultaneously, improving overall network efficiency.
Improved Efficiency 📈
Both WiFi 6 and WiFi 7 are backward compatible with previous WiFi standards, ensuring older devices still work.
WiFi 7 expands on WiFi 6’s MU-MIMO (multi-user, multiple input, multiple output) for better handling multiple devices.
WiFi 7 uses 4K QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation), allowing more data to be packed into the same radio waves than WiFi 6’s 1024-QAM.
WiFi 7 supports network slicing, enabling better quality of service (QoS) for different types of traffic, unlike WiFi 6.
WiFi 7 offers channel widths up to 320 MHz, double that of WiFi 6's maximum of 160 MHz, increasing data throughput.
With improved spatial reuse and interference management, WiFi 7 performs better in densely populated environments than WiFi 6.
