Netgear has been at the forefront of pretty much every evolution of WiFi over many years and WiFi 7 is the latest of them. Having released a high performance Nighthawk product and a high-end Orbi series product, both with WiFi 7 – Netgear has recently announced a WiFi 7 product with affordability in mind.

Offering low-latency, and 2.4 times the local network speed than WiFi 6 when you start upgrading to WiFi 7 devices like Laptops, Phones etc – you’re going to benefit if you’ve got a WiFi 7 network at home.

We already have 1000mbps internet plans, and speeds more than that are coming – so – time to future proof folks!
