Spectrum WiFi 7 Router Technical Specs

Features IEEE 802.11a/b/g, WiFi 4 (802.11n), WiFi 5 (802.11ac), WiFi 6E (802.11ax), & WiFi 7 (802.11be) support
Concurrent 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz frequency band support

Benefits
· Supports existing client devices in the home and all newer devices using higher frequencies, including the latest WiFi 7 capable devices.
· Provides flexibility in range for WiFi signal to cover the home. · Future capability upgrade to support AFC (Automated Frequency
Coordination) which enables the WiFi 7 router to potential increase the power of the 6 GHz radio from LPI (Low Power Indoor) default mode to SP (Standard Power) mode. Enables the 6 GHz band to have almost the same level of reach as the 5 GHz band.

2.4 GHz WiFi Radio – 802.11be 4×4:4 5 GHz WiFi Radio – 802.11be 4×4:4 6 GHz WiFi Radio – 802.11be 4×4:4

· More data per packet transition provides higher throughput and increased range improving experience, especially in client dense environments.
· Delivers higher data rates and bandwidth for the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies bands as well as support for almost 1,200 MHz of the 6 GHz
frequency band. · Unified SSID enables intelligent client steering – optimizes client device
connectivity to best frequency band, channel, and access point. · Prevents client devices from “sticking” to a specific non-optimized band as
the client moves around or if the channel becomes congested due to external interference.

WiFi Channel Bandwidths

· 2.4 GHz 20 / 40 MHz · 5 GHz 20 / 40 / 80 / 160 MHz · 6 GHz 20 / 40 / 80 / 160 / 320 MHz

802.11be WiFi 7 chipsets with higher processing power

Supports consistent performance where there is a higher density of WiFi devices connecting to the network. Powerful chips encode/decode signals, allowing better
network and device management.

Latest industry-standard WiFi security (WPA2 / WPA3 Personal)

Supports both WPA3 Personal (2022 version) standard, which is the highest security standard available to date, and WPA2 Personal (2004) standard to protect devices on
the WiFi network. Note: 6 GHz band only supports WPA3 Personal

One Multi-Gig and Two Gig LAN Ports
MultiGig WAN port

Connect stationary computers, game consoles, printers, media sources and other devices on the private network for high-speed service. · IEEE 802.3e 10BASE-T · IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX · IEEE 802.3ab 1000BASE-T · IEEE 802.3bz 2.5GBASE-T
