Direct Protect+

Protect Your Whole Family

Only available to customers who lease our GigaSpire routers

Blazing Speeds and Whole-Home Coverage

The GigaSpire 7u10t delivers four times the performance of current Wi-Fi 6 systems, setting the new standard. Equipped with Wi-Fi 7 functionality, broadband service providers now have the ideal Wi-Fi system to complement 10G fiber delivery systems to solve the high-speed requirements of gaming systems, the low latency need for applications equipped with augmented/virtual reality functionality, the expanded use of 4K/8K streaming devices and the growing number of connected intelligent devices per subscriber.

Cutting Edge

Wi-Fi 7 is the new mainstream standard supported by flagship devices, ensuring your wireless network finally matches the high-speed capabilities of 10G XGS-PON fiber.

Lighting Fast

Wi-Fi 7 delivers a theoretical top speed of 46.4 Gbps, a four-fold increase over previous standards that could allow a future device to stream 50 8K movies simultaneously.

Broad Coverage

The inclusion of Automated Frequency Coordination (AFC) enables standard power transmission in the 6 GHz band, significantly extending the reach of multi-gigabit bandwidth throughout a premises.

High Performance

By quadrupling modulation to 4K QAM, the standard packs more data into the same frequency "lanes" to handle the most bandwidth-intensive applications without buffering.

Security

This standard continues the mandatory adoption of the WPA3 protocol, providing robust encryption and improved authentication for high-security enterprise and home environments.

Flexibility

Using Multi-Link Operation (MLO), Wi-Fi 7 can aggregate three different frequency bands simultaneously to dynamically route traffic and maintain the most reliable connection possible.

Features

Set up your Direct Protect+ system with minimal support. Customize settings across all connected devices, applications, family members, and rooms to create your own ultimate experience. Receive timely and helpful messages and alerts to know of any issues and provide offers and services that can enhance subscriber experience.

Network Security

As viruses and malware become increasingly sophisticated, your network requires an equally innovative solution. Direct Protect+ helps you keep a lock on your network – and alerts you when any unwanted visitors try to enter.

Protect What Matters

Parental controls are a network-level security service included in Direct Protect+. This unique feature protects all devices connected to your WiFi network. When it’s connected, it’s protected!

Network Management

Take complete control of your home Wi-Fi system through the Direct Protect+ app and get the ultimate Wi-Fi experience through your tailored and customized home network.

Included with All Gig Packages

Fast internet should also be secure. That’s why Direct Protect+ is now included at no additional cost with our Gig and higher speed packages.

Direct Protect+ adds an extra layer of protection to your network by helping guard connected devices against online threats—without slowing you down or requiring complicated setup.

As more devices connect to your home or business network, the need for built-in security grows. This service works quietly in the background, so you can focus on what you’re doing and not on managing security tools.

Combined with our high-performance fiber network, Direct Protect+ ensures your connection is not only fast, but also better protected against today’s online risks.
