Rogers has started offering new Wi-Fi 7 routers to customers in some parts of Calgary, Alberta. The company says it will bring Wi-Fi 7 to more areas across Canada later this year.
The new Wi-Fi service uses the Xfinity router, which is Rogers’ most powerful yet. It can reach very fast speeds, support over 200 connected devices at once, and is only available with the Rogers Xfinity Pro 4G plan. That plan offers download speeds of 4 gigabits per second and upload speeds of 1 gigabit per second—what Rogers claims is the fastest on any hybrid fibre and cable network in Canada.
“Canadians deserve the best connectivity, and this is just the first of many technology upgrades we’re launching this year,” said Bret Leech, President of Residential Services at Rogers. “Wi-Fi 7 gives faster speeds, better coverage, and a more reliable experience with less lag.”
Rogers hasn’t said exactly which modem it’s using, but it may be one of the models announced by Comcast in the U.S. earlier this year—either the XB10 or XER10. Rogers might also be using its own equipment since its network combines fibre and coaxial cable.
