Kirkland, Washington, Nov. 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ziply® Fiber, home to America’s Fastest Home Internet, today announced the introduction of the most advanced home WiFi experience available – WiFi 7 – now ready for installation across the company’s entire four-state, fiber-optic footprint. Starting today, along with the best network, new customers who sign-up for Ziply Fiber’s 1, 2, 5 or 10 Gig service may lease the company’s new WiFi 7 TP-Link router which will provide the fastest WiFi available. Customers will also enjoy the bonus of knowing this new service from Ziply Fiber helps solve one of the biggest pain points in American households today.
According to the recent “How Americans are Using the Global Internet” study conducted by OnePoll, 70 percent of consumers said they experience connection issues with their home WiFi networks and one-third of respondents reported that an unreliable WiFi connection is the biggest cause of stress at home. Today’s introduction of WiFi 7 from Ziply Fiber helps solve both of those issues.
“Ziply Fiber’s new WiFi 7 experience is a gamechanger when it comes to speed, capacity, latency and overall performance for home WiFi,” said Harold Zeitz, CEO of Ziply Fiber. “People have been saying they want to connect more devices, have better coverage throughout their homes and get faster speeds over WiFi, and today they can have all of that and more on the nation’s fastest and most reliable network.”
Whole Home WiFi Now Included
In addition, Ziply Fiber’s Whole Home WiFi service is now included with the router lease for all its multi-gig plans, just as it has been with its Gig, Fiber 300 and Fiber 100 plans. Whole Home WiFi ensures a quality WiFi signal and internet connection throughout a customer’s entire home. Ziply Fiber’s technicians perform a home WiFi check to assess the strength of WiFi service and look for any WiFi dead zones during installation. After the assessment, the technician will install the WiFi 7 router in the best spot to provide the customer with optimal WiFi coverage in their homes.
WiFi 7 Delivers Speed, Capacity and Performance
WiFi 7 delivers speeds faster than both WiFi 6 and WiFi 6E devices. The new WiFi 7 router options support symmetrical speeds up to 10 Gbps for wired connections and up to 3.5 Gbps over WiFi.
Ziply Fiber’s new WiFi 7 service also allows customers to connect more devices simultaneously without slowing down or experiencing lag, meaning increased capacity with lower latency, which is optimal for streaming, gaming, video calls and more.
WiFi 7 enhances performance overall, especially in dense environments where many networks overlap. It reduced interference and boosts signal quality, leading to better coverage throughout the home. WiFi 7 is particularly effective in larger homes, those with unusual layouts or more than two stories, or that have interior brick walls, which are normally susceptible to WiFi dead zones.
“As one of the first to bring affordable Wi-Fi 7 routers to market, we are pleased to collaborate with Ziply Fiber to deliver the latest in wireless networking technology,” said Jeff Barney, President, TP-Link Systems Inc. “With more Wi-Fi 7-enabled devices entering the market, it’s vital that consumers have access to fast, reliable connectivity, without compromising on quality or cost.”
