The new version of the xFi Advanced Gateway will have support for the wi-fi 6e standard and will also have support for the zigbee and matter internet standards. The addition of a third, 6 GHz band along with the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands found on its old gateway should make the routers ready for homes with dozens of wireless devices, including ones that use lots of bandwidth.
The selling point of the new wireless standards is that they can provide more bandwidth to power more devices, all with less potential for interference from other networks. The xFi Advanced Gateway should be faster and more reliable than the older version that was available to its customers who were on higher-speed plans, according to the company.
The new version of the modem will be able to handle faster internet speeds like the ones it offers with its Gigabit Pro plan, which can be up to 3 gigabits per second in some locations. Older routers with slower processors can struggle to handle the data throughput of newer plans, but that shouldn't happen with its new Advanced Gateway.
Renting a routers from your internet service provider is a bad deal.
Renting equipment from your internet service provider is a bad deal because you will end up paying more over time than you would have paid if you bought your own equipment. If you want to get into the 6E version of wi-fi, you will have to pay a lot more than the two or three hundred dollars required to get a great setup. The lease model may be more attractive with that kind of outlay required.
The new routers will be given to customers who pay for a complete package of internet services. The monthly cost to lease the new Advanced Gateway will remain at fourteen dollars a month.
