Wi-Fi 7 on Frontier Fiber

Frontier is ahead here: its premium fibre plans include the Wi-Fi 7 eero Max 7. If you're on a lower tier, you can add your own Wi-Fi 7 router to the ONT instead of paying to upgrade.

Using your own router

Frontier fibre is friendly to your own router via the ONT. Their top tier already bundles the Wi-Fi 7 eero Max 7, which is a genuinely good unit.

Step by step

  1. Check whether your Frontier plan already includes the eero Max 7 (Wi-Fi 7).
  2. If not, connect your own Wi-Fi 7 router to the ONT's Ethernet port.
  3. Disable the older Frontier router's Wi-Fi to avoid overlap.
