This broadband router is so good, I’ll be changing my plan
EE is teaming up with Qualcomm on a new Wi-Fi 7 router you can get right now – it promises 1.6Gbps speeds and 100Mbps minimum in every room
There are plenty of broadband options to choose from, but a lot of your internet connection relies on your router. You know, the dusty old box in the corner of the room that beams on your Wi-Fi signal? While you don’t have to touch this after it’s set up (unless things go pear-shaped), there’s some clever hardware inside that helps you get online. The latest Wi-Fi standard – version 7 – is on its way to your homes. But EE is already offering it with a new router and plans.
EE and Qualcomm are teaming up to pack Wi-Fi 7 capabilities into the latest routers that will roll out to customers. The connectivity brand wants to continue to offer customers best-in-class speeds as technology develops. Thanks to the fancy new hardware, customers can access faster speeds and a more reliable connection.
EE’s new Wi-Fi 7 Smart Hub Pro router is now available, alongside accompanying broadband plans. Prices start at £64.99 for a Wi-Fi 7 plan on a 24-month contract. This snazzy router promises a minimum of 100Mbps speed in every room, with your speeds achieving up to 1.6Gbps. It’s ideal for serious gamers, those with busy homes, or anyone that needs the fastest speeds.
Wi-Fi 7 is the latest connectivity standard for Wi-Fi. It adds support for 6Ghz connections (rather than the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz ones you might be familiar with already) to connect to more channels up to 320 MHz wide. It means there’ll be less traffic on your home connection, so you can browse faster. Other features send more data over multiple channels, with a more reliable connection throughout an area. Long story short, you’ll get a more stable and faster connection.
