What is WiFi 7 and how does it work?

Faster, more stable, and built for the future: WiFi 7 is the latest evolution in wireless internet. And guess what? DIGI is the very first provider in Belgium to bring it to you. With our lightning-fast DIGI Fiber 10 Gbps plan, including a WiFi 7 router, you’re getting the fastest internet in Belgium, straight to your home. A setup that’s not just ready for today, but fully geared for what comes next.
Wondering what WiFi 7 actually does and why it might be time to upgrade? We’ll break it down for you.
What is WiFi 7?
WiFi 7 is the next generation of wireless internet. It delivers ultra-fast internet and a super stable connection, even when your home is packed with connected devices.
That means: no more glitchy video calls, buffering streams, or spinning load wheels. With a WiFi 7 router of WiFi 7 mesh system, everything feels faster, smoother, and just… better.
How does WiFi 7 work?
WiFi 7 isn’t just “a bit faster”. It’s built to take your connection to a whole new level. And it does that with some pretty clever upgrades:
- More data at once
WiFi 7 has a wider bandwidth, letting way more data flow through your network simultaneously. That means speeds can soar past 40 Gbps. (Your actual internet speed still depends on your provider. With DIGI, that’s up to 10 Gbps.)
- Faster connections on every device
Thanks to Multi-Link Operation (MLO), WiFi 7 uses multiple frequency bands at the same time. Think of it as having three highways side by side, so your laptop, phone, and tablet can all surf smoothly without slowing each other down.
- Smarter traffic handling
Whether you’re home alone or six people are streaming at once, WiFi 7 knows exactly how to split the connection to keep everyone’s internet fast and stable.
WiFi 6 vs. WiFi 7: what’s the difference?
WiFi 6 already made it easier to have multiple devices online at once. But WiFi 7 takes it up a notch: it manages your network way smarter, making sure every device gets the best possible connection.

Do you need WiFi 7?
Now you’ve got the basics of WiFi 7, but the real question is: is WiFi 7 right for you? Ask yourself:
- Do you stream ultra-HD on multiple devices at the same time?
- Do you often have video calls while others are online too?
- Do you play online games where every second counts?
- Do you have a smart home full of connected devices?
- Do you rely on cloud software to securely store important files?
If you answered “yes” to any of these, then WiFi 7 is exactly the upgrade you need to keep your internet future-proof – at home or at work.
