4 Reasons to Modernise Your Home Broadband (and No, it’s Not Just About Speed)

To keep up with increased demands and changing usage patterns in 2026, homeowners should consider modernising their home broadband networks by switching to Singtel WiFi 7. WiFi 7 is the next-generation wireless standard known as "Extremely High Throughput" (EHT), operating across 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz bands to deliver speeds over 4x faster than Wi-Fi 6. 

Truly the most advanced broadband network of all, Singtel WiFi 7 deploys the TR-369 standard for end-to-end WiFi management. Singtel is the first in the world to adopt this advanced standard, which enables many of the sophisticated features you can enjoy as a Singtel WiFi 7 subscriber.

Comprehensive device-level security 

With Singtel, security is a given. Available with all Singtel WiFi 7 plans, their WiFi 7 routers have the highest security certification as evaluated by the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA), ensuring comprehensive device-level security. 

But that’s not all. All plans also come with network-level protection by way of Broadband Protect – powered by cloud-based intelligence from global cyber security leader Palo Alto Networks – which actively scans and shields your network against cyber threats long before you become aware of them. 

For even more robust protection, subscribers can opt for Broadband Protect Plus, which protects against zero-day attacks (attacks that exploit previously unknown vulnerabilities before the developers have a chance to fix them) and includes a detailed report of threats blocked by categories, for proactive actions.

With CSA-certified routers and Broadband Protect/Broadband Protect Plus, your home network can now enjoy always-on cyber defence – a must-have for every home in today’s hyper-connected digital age. 

This means reduced disruptions, fewer breaches and less worry for your home.

Energy-saving streaming with EcoWiFi

A brand-new feature available for free on all WiFi 7 plans, EcoWiFi is a smart system designed to help manage and reduce energy use by controlling WiFi frequency bands on Singtel routers in customers’ homes. 

Through the My Singtel App, users can manually control and schedule WiFi bands based on behaviours and preferences. This means you can easily save energy by pausing higher bandwidth but greater energy-consuming 5/6 GHz bands when not needed. Going on holiday or turning in for the night? Simply pause the higher-energy bands and switch to a lower band to save energy for greener surfing. 

Besides centralised control over your Singtel WiFi 7 bands, EcoWifi also provides real-time pausing of bandwidth usage so schedules can be adjusted on the fly. It also shows you how much energy is being saved at a glance. 

Now you and your family can reduce your carbon footprints at your convenience, without compromising on connection quality.

Network management out of sight

Here’s why Singtel being the first to adopt the TR-369 standard is significant: Their end-to-end WiFi management now works quietly behind the scenes to keep everything running smoothly. 

Singtel’s end-to-end network management means that key updates are rolled out automatically, and their technicians get real-time look to troubleshoot issues. The result? Network performance is optimised in real time, and backend glitches can be fixed with no disturbances to your connectivity. In the rare occasion of downtimes, Singtel has protocols in place for rapid recovery so that you’re back online in a blink of an eye. 

With Singtel WiFi 7, everything keeps running as it should, without you having to lift a finger.

Service that’s always on

While Singtel WiFi 7 is built to work on its own with minimal user involvement, that doesn’t mean less technical support. 

On the contrary, Singtel provides support via calls or 24/7 chat, as well as free onsite installations. This ensures help is available to all customers whenever and wherever it is needed. 

With dedicated support at your fingertips round-the-clock, you’ll never be left to figure things out on your own.
