WiFi 7 Access Points: Faster Speed, More Devices, and Lower Latency
Is your current WiFi network struggling to keep up? If you experience frustrating lag during video calls, buffering while streaming 4K movies, or slowdowns when the whole family is online, you're not alone. As our lives become more connected, our networks are pushed to their limits. It’s time to upgrade to WiFi 7.
What Makes WiFi 7 Different?
WiFi 7, officially known as IEEE 802.11be, is more than just an incremental update. It's a new wireless standard rebuilt from the ground up to deliver extreme speed, reliability, and capacity. While previous generations focused primarily on boosting theoretical speeds, WiFi 7 tackles the real-world challenges of network congestion and latency, making it the most significant advancement in years.
A modern wireless access point with WiFi 7 technology can transform your daily digital experience, ensuring every device performs at its
absolute best.
Omada provides a full solution of WiFi 7 access points including ceiling-mount, wall-plate and outdoor wireless access points
Omada WiFi 7 access points leverage several game-changing technologies. Here’s what they are and why they matter to you:
Ultra-Thin Design:
The overall design of EAP772 and EAP773 utilizes a thinner circular arc with a groove around the top cover, fitting closer to various installation surfaces such as ceilings. The compact internal hardware layout and heat-dissipating design ensure high performance with a sharp aesthetic. The EAP723 has a smaller design which is 6.3 × 6.3 × 1.4 in (160 × 160 × 36.7 mm).
Multi-Link Operation (MLO):
Traditionally, your device connects to one WiFi band at a time (either 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, or 6 GHz). With MLO, a single device can connect to multiple bands simultaneously. Think of it as turning a single-lane road into a multi-lane superhighway, allowing data to flow faster and more reliably.
This dramatically reduces latency, making it a game-changer for online gaming, AR/VR, and flawless video conferencing.
320 MHz Ultra-Wide Channels: A Wider Highway for Data
WiFi 7 doubles the channel width of its predecessor. A wider channel means more data can be transmitted at once, leading to a massive increase in throughput. This is what enables buffer-free 8K streaming and
downloading huge files in a fraction of the time.
4K-QAM means More Data in Every Transmission:
Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) is how data is encoded into a radio wave. WiFi 7 upgrades this from 1K-QAM to 4K-QAM, essentially packing 20% more data into every single transmission. The result is higher peak speeds and greater network efficiency.
Multi-Gigabit Ethernet Ports: Beyond One Gigabit.
A wireless network is only as fast as its wired connection. More and more ISPs provide 2 gigabit or even 5 gigabit internet plans, to ensure you can fully utilize the incredible speeds of WiFi 7, every Omada WiFi 7 access point is equipped with at least one ultra-fast 2.5G or 10G Ethernet port. This guarantees your wired infrastructure won't hold back your wireless performance. The best-selling model, EAP772, has one 2.5G Ethernet port which is fast enough for most users.
Who Needs a WiFi 7 Upgrade?
While everyone can benefit from better WiFi, certain users will see a night-and-day difference. Consider upgrading if you fall into one of these categories:
The Connected Smart Home:
If you’re looking for the best wireless access point for home use and have dozens of devices—from smart TVs and security cameras to laptops and phones—WiFi 7’s massive capacity will ensure everything runs smoothly without a hitch. Connect the legacy devices to the 2.4Ghz band and the new devices to 5Ghz and 6Ghz bands.
Businesses and High-Density Offices:
In an office environment, a reliable network is critical for productivity. WiFi 7 prevents slowdowns during peak hours and provides the stable, low-latency connection needed for cloud applications and team collaboration.
Gamers and Content Creators:
For competitive gaming, low latency is everything. For content creators, upload and download speeds are paramount. WiFi 7 delivers on both fronts, providing a significant competitive advantage.
Future-Proofing Your Network:
Investing in a WiFi 7 access point today means your network will be ready for the devices and applications
of tomorrow.
Which WiFi 7 Access Point is right for you?
When choosing a model, consider its features. Omada has ceiling-mount, wall-plate and outdoor WiFi 7 access points which can cover most cases.
Ceiling-Mount access points:
They’re suitable for most users due to its powerful coverage. Not every house has Ethernet ports in every room, a ceiling mount WiFi 7 access point can usually cover about 1500 sq ft.
Wall-plate access points:
If you have Ethernet ports in every room, then the wall-plate access point will be highly recommended. With the compact design, they can be installed directly into a standard electrical wall box, making for a clean and unobtrusive installation.
Outdoor access points:
Nowadays, high-speed outdoor WiFi is not a luxury, one EAP772-Outdoor can cover about 3000 sq ft for open spaces. With its IP68 weatherproof enclosure and tri-band WiFi 7 speeds, it’s easy to provide seamless WiFi for the yard, barn, farm, business park and hotel’s outdoors.
Upgrade today for the future
WiFi 7 isn't just about chasing bigger speed numbers; it's about creating a smarter, more reliable, and incredibly responsive network that can finally keep up with our digital lives. By eliminating lag, boosting
