I love how Wi-Fi 7 router is now getting more common, while I just upgraded to Wi-Fi 6😂

[@SourianteOrange]

[@jinsong6940]

That's why I'm still hauling on a wifi 5 router lol. The technology keeps changing but the devices can't keep up.

[@VelezBiH]

I have 2.4/5GHz router and its on its last lags. I think this is a good time to upgrade to WIFI 7, even though there are not a lot of devices on the market that support it, but in time there will be. @@jinsong6940

[@UrielinMountains]

I know... I recently moved to my current apartment, and I thought upgrade to wifi 6 is a nice upgrade. The employee at xfinity didn't tell me about wifi 7 until it's too late. Feels bad man...

[@MarketZbtlink]

I am also looking forward to using the wifi7 router.

Don't you think it's relevant for gaming ?

Lol I just upgraded from WiFi 4 to WiFi 7 lol what a jump lol

[@BlaqViper]

An absolute EXCELLENT info filled video!! I’ve been running a WiFi7 since August on a 1.2Gbps service, though an NDA prevents me from saying which at this time…☹️ With no WiFi7 devices in hand the system is pretty much preforming as my eero Pro 6E mesh. But I’m sure over the next year or so the flood gates will open and internet service will get even faster. BTW, you influence goes beyond just tech. Your videos pushed me to buy a new coffee maker.😂

[@TheUnlockr]

Hah thank you for the insight and hope you like the coffee maker, whichever one you got :)

[@pacobacchus9118]

Now I have WiFi 7 in Mesh with 2 routers Xiaomi AX7000, But interconnected with ETHERNET cable CAT 6A. The performance is brilliant although I cannot receive more than 1Gbps fiber optic service. The price of both 2 Xiaomi AX7000 for me cost only 250 USD. Before I had installed several WiFi 6E with excellet performance. All Xiaomi models AX 3000, 3600, 3000T, AX5400 and 2 AX9000. I tested MESH net WiFi and hybrid with CAT 7 and CAT 8 cable. Finally I choose for home a configuration of 2 routers linked by Cable that provide a WiFi 7 service for all devices. It is important to use ethernet cable when possible instead of WiFi signal to link the routers in MESH. So Wifi signal will be more stable, strong and faster for all Wifi connected devices. The new BE7000 MESH can provide service for 600 devices at the same time. The new technology VoWiFi for cellular phones, Voice on WiFi gives a better coverage for cellulars that can be connected without using the Mobile Network for cellulars and the speed and Broad Band is like a 5G connected to Fiber Optic.

[@dnvr12]

Got wifi 6 access points on eaxh floor for range. Every single device in my home with an ethernet port is hardwired. I pay $25/mo for 300/300 and did a stress test where im doing 8 rooms of audio dostribution, 4 online gaming, 3 Hulu live TV streaming and a camera all at once… zero hiccup or delay.

[@DynamicHaze]

Interesting stuff thanks for the info.

Thanks, I learned that I don't need wifi 7. In my neighborhood, my house is the only one using two different 5g networks. I don't even need 6g to get away from congestion. Thanks

😅😅 What do people do with internet speeds exceeding 1Gbps anyway? I mean - that’s just stupid fast. My provider is “boasting” 70Mbps as their flagship “Fibre” connection and even that doesn’t max out to that speed consistently… 😂 However, I’ve found that it’s enough for my needs tbh 🤷🏾

[@IHATETRAFFIC2023]

Can I take advantage of anything relating to WiFi 7 even though I don’t have any devices yet? I recently upgraded to WiFi 6e but I want to return that system get way ahead for the future. I currently use WiFi 6e capable devices now. Any help would be great! I ordered the TP link mesh system. Great videos by the way

[@niko2002]

Im still on wifi 5, just waiting for the right time to upgrade.

Good luck finding a useful channel for zigbee when you have no control over wifi channels... If i cannot select the wifi channel in the router, i'd like to see an option to restrict the use of a channel...

[@gazziesukor4859]

i'm currently on a 10gbps gamers plan with my ISP and the plan bundled with the Asus ROG GT-BE98 wifi 7 router. It's insanely stupid fast!!! Now all my family members are enjoying fast wifi connection. 😂

[@DyseRLJ]

I dont understand where wifi 7 begins? Does it begin with ISP, before it gets to my house? Or does it begin at the modem? Or the router maybe? I dont understand exactly where do i get wifi 7 from?

[@mariocruz591]

From routers obviously ISP does not care about wifi technologies

[@Slavolko]

From the wifi chips in your devices and your router. That's it. Both the router and your devices need to support it.

[@marklewis.wales844]

I wish we had decent WiFi in the UK it's nowhere near what you get in America

[@dpleech1]

What's wrong with UK WiFi? I'm in the UK and get just under 900Mbps on my Eero 6+ on my Samsung S23 Ultra. I would love the Eero 7 (which will be available soon in the UK) but there is no way I'm paying £600 for each mesh router. The prices are ridiculous just like WiFi 6e.

[@marklewis.wales844]

@dpleech1 I suppose it depends on what part you live in, and not had the full fiber yet

[@dpleech1]

@@marklewis.wales844 Ah, are you talking about broadband speed coming in to your house/flat, as this is not related to WiFi speed. They are two different things.

I was actually thinking about TP-Link Tri-Band BE9300 WiFi 7 Router Archer BE550 whats your opinion of that one? please I'm ready the drop the hammer and buy even looking at what the next one price is @ your $700.00 as you say

[@TheGevShow]

great video, im glad i now know i dont need or care for wifi 7 yet. ill stick to 6e for my mesh upgrade. thanks for the video.

[@aelaan12]

With my current setup I get 2.0 Gpbs down and that is in my opinion so 21st century. We have come a long way to Wi-Fi 6e and ISPs just cannot (will not?) keep up. I am not getting a 6e modem anytime soon, and we are not able to bring our own modem. It took me a year of begging to get a modem with a 2.5Gb port.

[@H8RSAPPRECIATE]

Lmao next year wifi 8 and wifi 9 after and so one it will be funny if he keeps talking about wifi 6 all the way up to wifi 10

[@Newbeejtk1]

It’s to much to fast 💨. WiFi 7 already next year it’s 8, then the year after 9, 10 and so on. When everyone finally has WiFi 7 devices in their homes routers will be on WiFi 11 or 12. I’m not big on WiFi numbers and sadly everyone already knows it doesn’t matter what WiFi # routers are using, it's not official until it's the standard on the latest iPhone device anyway. I just want the new routers that come out to have 2.5Gbps Ethernet ports and officially do away with the 1Gbps standard.

[@remyazharyyosef1811]

Now, that explains why devices inside my concrete walled store room are unable to connect to my Wifi 6 router. My previous Wifi 5 has a more better coverage. But still whichever Wifi it is, my Sonos speakers are still operating on the 2.4 GHz band so, while Wifi 7 may help, it still doesn't help to ease the 2.4 congestion.

[@NealDannenberg]

Hi. Great video! I just got Verizon 2gb service. Will WiFi 7 be faster than my Verizon router and extender? If I get a mesh network, can I give my fios equipment back to Verizon? Thanks!

[@FedoraTech]

How's the be95 working for you? Seeing some feedback that it's buggy and device connection issues. I'm currently trying out the orbi 970 and so far no major issues. Seeing sometimes my z Fold 5 doesn't always connect to wifi 6e and I have to switch WiFi off then back on to connect to 6e. Wonder if the tp link handles this better.

MediaTek x Lumen Technologies Wi-Fi 7 promises faster and more reliable internet speeds.

[@IMUSTHCOOSEANEWNAMEB]

They finally did it, wireless is faster than wires!

[@pacobacchus9118]

I disagree. Some router models select in automatic the faster link Wireless or Cable. If for some reason cable link is slower than WiFi, check or change the cable. Sometimes the RJ45 terminals are not properly fastened or installed. I fixed several just refastening with proper tool and replacing the conectors RJ45.

[@finfan83]

Look at the guy explaining us stuff again ! And imagine all the damn devices having enough space in the band to connect reliably for once !

I wish Wi-Fi 7 had the ability to schedule its sending of information even if the old devices don't have Wi-Fi 7. This was my biggest complaint with the upgrade to Wi-Fi 6 when only my phone supported it.. having a home with many smart devices can bog down the network at times.

It can but only to WiFi 6 and up devices that support it unfortunately :/
