Ultrawide 320 MHz Bandwidth
WiFi 7 introduces all-new ultrawide 320 MHz channel bandwidth, doubling data transmission capacity. Think of networking as a virtual freeway and the doubled bandwidth as a doubling of the number of lanes. Now larger vehicles are allowed to get on the freeway and can pack more data than ever before.

High-density 4096-QAM Data Transmission
4K-QAM can improve data transmission rates versus WiFi 6/6E by up to 20%, because a higher QAM can pack signals more densely. Continuing with the freeway analogy, now higher QAM permits more merchandise to be loaded into every vehicle. In other words, you can now upload and download more data in the same time frame as before.

Revolutionary Multi-link Operation
Multi-Link Operation (MLO) allows a device to simultaneously connect on multiple frequency bands, enabling faster speeds by aggregating bandwidth, with more reliable WiFi connections on multiple concurrently used bands. Connecting to multiple bands in this manner also enables “seamless switching” where your data will automatically be allocated to the most suitable band to reduce latency.
