New Wi-Fi 7 access points for offices
4 November 2026
Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) is now arriving in offices, and it is the biggest wireless upgrade in a decade. If your staff complain about slow or dropping Wi-Fi during video calls, it may be time to plan an upgrade.
What is new in Wi-Fi 7
- Speeds up to 4.8 times faster than Wi-Fi 6 in real-world tests
- 320 MHz channels in the 6 GHz band for very high capacity
- Multi-Link Operation (MLO): devices use several bands at once, so connections stay stable even when one band is busy
- Lower latency, which makes Teams, Zoom and VoIP calls smoother
- Better performance in crowded spaces such as open-plan offices, warehouses and hotels

Should you upgrade now?
- Yes, if you are moving to a new office or doing a fit-out — install Wi-Fi 7 now so you are ready for five or more years
- Yes, if you have more than 30 users per floor or many video calls
- Maybe later, if your Wi-Fi 6 network was installed in the last two years and works well
