Wireless is no longer just an option or a backup; it’s often now the actual backbone.
Whether it’s a branch office with no wired infrastructure, a kiosk at a market stall, or a remote employee’s home workspace, today’s operations demand reliable, flexible internet access. But even as wireless has become a more reliable type of connection, like other circuits, it still experiences unpredictable performance, outages, and frustrating disruptions.
And that’s why we’re proud to introduce a new layer to our wireless-first connectivity solution: built-in Wi-Fi capability for the Edge 800W router. It’s more than a checkbox feature; it’s an extension of the Bigleaf Cloud Connect platform, bringing our signature optimization and failover services to every LAN device at your location.
Now Enable Wi-Fi on Edge 800W
Already a powerhouse with its built-in 5G modem, plug-and-play install, and intelligent WAN aggregation, the Edge 800W now adds Wi-Fi 6 dual-band support to its list of capabilities. That means every device at a site, from laptops, POS systems, kiosks, tablets, etc., can now access Bigleaf-optimized internet wirelessly, with seamless failover and real-time traffic management baked right in.
And because it’s part of Bigleaf’s Cloud Connect architecture, that wireless connection is as reliable and high-performing as the rest of your network.
The Full Wireless-First Solution
Wi-Fi is just one piece of the puzzle. Bigleaf brings together multiple wireless and wired circuits, from 5G to LTE to satellite, and intelligently manages them to deliver consistent performance, even when individual circuits falter. That’s the magic of Bigleaf Cloud Connect + Wireless Connect: a unified system that transforms unpredictable internet into a resilient network, tailored for wireless-first environments.
Here’s what that looks like in practice:
- Hybrid WAN optimization: Aggregate a Wireless Connect 5G line with up to three wired or wireless WAN connections, and manage them dynamically.
- Seamless failover: Keep cloud applications running without interruption, even if a connection drops.
- Real-time insights: Monitor circuit performance and connected devices through a single pane of glass.
- Secure remote access: Business-grade security features ensure protection and device-level control.
- Guest Wi-Fi: Enable a separate network for customer access without compromising business systems.
It Just Works
True to Bigleaf form, setup is simple. The Edge 800W is a plug-and-play device, requiring no complex policies or ongoing configuration. It works seamlessly with your existing infrastructure, and comes with centralized management that scales effortlessly across locations.
Purpose-Built for Where You Work
Bigleaf’s Wi-Fi-enabled Edge 800W is ideal for:
- Branch offices and remote sites with no wired options
- Pop-up locations and day-one deployments that can’t wait for a circuit install
- Home offices where IT teams need to ensure performance and uptime
- Retail and customer-facing spaces needing secure guest Wi-Fi
- Rural or underserved areas where traditional connectivity is limited
Final Thoughts
Adding Wi-Fi to the Edge 800W is more than a hardware upgrade; it’s another step forward in our mission to simplify connectivity and make high-performance internet available to businesses wherever and however they operate.
