Wi-Fi 7 isn’t just the next version number. It’s the technological leap forward that finally allows wireless speeds to catch up to hardwired speeds. For the first time ever, customers can pull speeds over 3 gigabits per second (Gbps) over wireless. 

In addition, we had our Wi-Fi 7 hardware custom-built from the ground up to highlight the strengths of our 25G PON network. With ports for hardwired speeds to up to 10 Gbps on the Wi-Fi 7 router and mesh extenders, combined with Multi-Link Operation (MLO), we wanted to make sure GFiber customers have what they need to push the hardware to the absolute limit. 

With the level of technology embedded in its hardware, our premium Wi-Fi 7 mesh system is valued at up to $1,699 and comes included at no extra cost.  

The Highway Evolution: Think of previous Wi-Fi generations (left) like a standard highway where traffic is forced into a single lane, causing congestion. Wi-Fi 7 with Multi-Link Operation (right) acts like a smart traffic controller, opening multiple lanes simultaneously so your data flows freely with ultra-low lag.

Multi-Link Operation—a true information SUPERhighway

But the benefit goes beyond the router. With mesh extenders, Wi-Fi 7 enables wireless speeds up to 3.4 Gbps to more places in the home via MLO. Think of Wi-Fi as a highway, MLO is like a smart traffic controller for your data. Before, Wi-Fi forced a device to choose one lane (or frequency band) at a time. If that lane was congested, the connection lagged. MLO is smarter: it intelligently opens up multiple lanes simultaneously, allowing the router and extenders to send and receive data across multiple bands at the same time. If one frequency gets crowded, data just flows through the others. It turns multi-gig from a localized hotspot into a home-wide reality. This kind of smart, multi-gig coverage should be the standard, not a luxury add-on. 

Wi-Fi 7 comes standard. Not as an add-on. 

Of course, all of these new features are meaningless if the product isn’t accessible to everyday users. That’s why we’re making the Wi-Fi 7 router (and up to two mesh extenders) standard starting at just $100 per month with our Home and Edge products. When GFiber customers opt for a multi-gig experience, we want them to get the absolute most of that experience with our service. 

Fulfilling the promise of the next generation of internet

We set out to build an internet that doesn't just keep up with life but moves it forward. For years, we’ve been investing and building a network capable of 20 gig speed. By bringing Wi-Fi 7 into the home, we are taking the final step in turning our long-term network investment vision into reality in the home. We’re not just launching a new router—today we’re fulfilling the promise of the next-generation internet we’ve been building since day one.

Welcome to the multi-gig wireless era—unchained, included at no extra cost, and ready for whatever our customers will do next.
