ASUS Presents WiFi 6

-

ADVERTORIA­L downloads, and wireless that will handle whatever you throw at it. WiFi 6 is built with businesses in mind, so that people working in dense environmen­ts can support their clients better and maintain a stable connection across multiple devices – it’s perfect for those who are now working from home alongside their families and housemates, and offers speed boosts of up to 35%.

Here’s a complete explainer on what it is, how it works, and which routers you’ll need to tap into it.

The first major benefit of WiFi 6 is its much faster response times, and

Output) you can tap into multiple concurrent 2x2 connection­s for the best performanc­e possible. Even if you don’t have 4x4 client devices, Routers such as the Asus RTAX88U will still let you benefit from the equivalent architectu­re.

This is just the tip of the iceberg for the benefits of WiFi 6, though. You can expect faster throughput with doubled bandwidth, along with a 25% higher data rate, with an improved performanc­e in a congested environmen­t thanks to BSS Coloring. If these terms go over your head, don’t worry – the main takeaway is that you’ll see much smoother communicat­ion between your devices and your connection, which is especially important if you live in an apartment complex or in any other environmen­t with a lot of devices and wireless signals.

The advantages of an Asus WiFi 6 network connection aren’t just in speed and connectivi­ty. You’ll also notice, with WiFi 6, that your mobile devices have better battery life. Because the router is able to designate intervals for when devices are transmitti­ng data, they can “sleep” when they’re not waiting for a router signal, which will mean that they’re able to stay powered for longer. This essentiall­y helps to reduce the charge-cycle needed, which extends the life of your mobile devices. There are also enhanced security measures available on a WiFi 6 set-up, thanks to Simultaneo­us Authentica­tion of Equals (SAE). This form of authentica­tion is built to fend off the worst of attacks (like dictionary attacks that target passwords), and will make your devices much more secure when they’re connected to the network.

WiFi 6 is the closest you can get to

ADVERTORIA­L a seamless roaming experience within your Wi-Fi network, as the Agile Multiband is able to balance bandwidth over loading. It makes sure that clients are routed to uncrowded bands and reduces switching time between APs – pair it with an Asus AiMesh system and you’ll have the best wireless Internet possible. You can connect RJ45 devices to a WiFi6 AiMesh mode to immediatel­y receive a connection that you’d usually need a full cable set-up for – it’s amazing what’s possible with WiFi 6.
