While the Verizon Business Internet Gateway’s Wi-Fi 7 compatibility is a major advancement for the industry, the broader strength of this device is its ability to provide faster and more reliable service to business customers. We designed the router to support external antennas for more flexibility in difficult signal locations within buildings. Plus, there’s a robust accessory ecosystem, including battery backup in case of a power outage.
