Imagine downloading a movie in seconds, attending smooth online meetings and streaming in high definition without the slightest interruption. With <strong>Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 technologies<\/strong>, this dream becomes a reality, with speeds of up to 28 Gbps for Wi-Fi 7.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Thanks to their high transmission capacity, the latest models of <strong>Wi-Fi access points<\/strong> can handle a greater number of users simultaneously, while guaranteeing ultra-fast, stable Wi-Fi connections.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>But before you celebrate, ask yourself one essential question: can your network keep up?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The truth about ultra-fast Wi-Fi: it&#8217;s not just about access point<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>Buying the latest Wi-Fi access point isn&#8217;t enough. Even the best AP will be limited if your entire network isn&#8217;t up to scratch. Think of a racing car stuck on a lousy road, where the speed is reduced to 50 km\/h: all its potential is wasted.  <\/p>\n\n<p>The access point is just one of the many elements of a Wi-Fi network. Each element impacts network speed, yet many are often overlooked. <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Router\/modem<\/strong> (often supplied by your ISP)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Network cables<\/strong> (the famous Cat 5e, Cat 6, etc.) connect all the elements together.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Other equipment<\/strong> such as firewalls, switches or any other device between your terminal and the network.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>For example, you buy a state-of-the-art <a href=\"https:\/\/safda.ca\/en\/x7-35x-indoor-wifi-access-point-wifi-7\/\">Wi-Fi 7 access poin<\/a>t and connect it to the network with a Cat 5e cable. This type of cable is limited to <strong>1 Gbps over a distance of 100 meters<\/strong>. As a result, your super terminal will be limited to 1 Gbps, the maximum speed supported by the cable. A far cry from the 28 Gbps promised by Wi-Fi 7!   <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Avoid disappointment<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>Before embarking on the purchase and installation of a state-of-the-art Wi-Fi hotspot to take advantage of ultra-fast Wi-Fi, take the time to analyze the other components of your network:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Check your router and Internet subscription<\/strong>. If your ISP limits speed or your router is out of date, overall performance will be affected. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Inspect your network cables.<\/strong> Replace Cat 5e cables with Cat 6 or higher cables capable of handling high data rates.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Evaluate your other equipment.<\/strong> Make sure that each intermediate device supports the speed of your Wi-Fi terminal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Optimizing means taking full advantage!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 technologies offer incredible potential, but they require compatible network infrastructure to deliver on their promise. By optimizing your equipment, you can transform your Wi-Fi network into a veritable digital highway for surfing, streaming, and gaming at lightning speed! <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Are you unsure where to start?
