Real-World Wi-Fi 7 Speed Test with Asus Zenbook

In this video, we explore how fast a Wi-Fi 7 laptop really is using the Asus Zenbook connected to a TP-Link GE800 router. We tested performance over a 6 GHz band with a 1 Gbps fiber internet connection. The results were impressive, showing near-gigabit download and upload speeds, demonstrating the true power of Wi-Fi 7 laptops in a modern setup.

Wi-Fi 7 Laptop Speed Test with Asus Zenbook & TP-Link GE800

Testing the Speed of a Wi-Fi 7 Laptop

The video demonstration features:

Using these devices, we connected the Asus Zenbook to the router and ran an internet speed test.

Results:

This shows that Wi-Fi 7 delivers on its promise of blazing-fast wireless connectivity. While your mileage may vary based on ISP and interference, this test confirms that Wi-Fi 7 laptops are capable of nearly saturating a gigabit fiber connection over the air.

If you're considering an upgrade, pairing a Wi-Fi 7-enabled device with a compatible router and a fast internet plan can future-proof your network setup. For gamers, streamers, or professionals, the low latency and high throughput are well worth the investment.

So, how fast are Wi-Fi 7 laptops? Today, we're going to find out.

We're using the Asus Zenbook laptop, which has a Wi-Fi 7 network interface card. It's connected to the 6 GHz band, as shown on screen. Our router for this test is the TP-Link GE800 Wi-Fi 7 gaming router.

Let’s go ahead and run a speed test to see the actual performance.

My current internet service plan is a 1 Gbps fiber plan from CenturyLink. They guarantee speeds of 940 Mbps for both download and upload.

During our speed test:

  • Download speed came in at 942 Mbps.
  • Upload speed measured 926 Mbps.

This confirms that the fiber connection is incredibly fast—and the Wi-Fi 7 laptop was able to make full use of it.

I highly recommend fiber internet if it's available in your area. It offers symmetrical high-speed connections that are perfect for heavy internet usage.

In summary, Wi-Fi 7 laptops are blazing fast. If you're on the fence about upgrading, now is a great time. I’m Michael Scott, and this is the Ultimate Tech Hub.
