2. What is wi-Fi6? Where is the "6"?

WiFi, the wireless communication technology that we use every day, has attracted a lot of attention. So what exactly is Wi-Fi6? Where is the "6"? Let's take a look.

Wi-Fi6 is the sixth generation of WiFi based on 802.11ax specification. It can not only meet users' mobile experience requirements of "ultra-high speed and low delay", but also expand the coverage area, so that users can experience more reliable and high-speed powerful performance. With the popularity of wireless terminals such as mobile phones and tablets, people have put forward higher demands for WiFi network bandwidth, access quantity, delay and other aspects. Especially the application of 5G, 8K, VR and other technologies, all require network support with stronger performance, and the emergence of wi-Fi 6 solves these problems.

What are the advantages of Wi-Fi6?

In terms of the development and launch of WIA350-401 high-performance 802.11ax(Wi-Fi6) intelligent dual-band wireless router combined with Western Spruce network equipment, the first is that it supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, you should know that WiFi5(802.11ac) is the most widely used on our mobile phones and routers, It only supports 5G band, and its weakness is "poor wall penetration capability", especially in areas with weak signal coverage, compared with 2.4C band with strong wall penetration capability, the network experience is poor. However, 2.4C frequency band has problems such as slow network speed and easy to be interfered.

Therefore, wi-Fi 6, which supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, takes into account the advantages of the two bands, and can technically avoid the disadvantages of the two bands, creates an excellent network connection experience for users and meets the various wireless coverage requirements of the enterprise. Secondly, Wi-Fi6 can support a maximum of eight data streams, so Wi-Fi6 can theoretically have a network rate of up to 9.6Gbps and a bandwidth ratio

WiFi-5 is several times larger. In addition, wi-Fi6 can support the full version of MU-MIMO, while the Western Spruce intelligent dual-band wireless router adopts 4*4MU-MIMO built-in smart antenna optimization technology equipped with independent RF module technology. Compared with WiFi in SU-MIMO mode, it not only supports simultaneous transmission of multiple data, but also greatly reduces channel interference. Better scanning and monitoring of wireless environment, optimize wireless performance, so as to apply to many more scenarios. In addition, wi-Fi6 has lower energy consumption. For the application scenarios of low-speed network devices such as smart homes, Wi-Fi6 adds the Target Wake Time (TWT) mechanism, so that the router will automatically generate a wake up time for data exchange, and wake up these low-speed devices for data exchange in turn during the period of low network data transmission. Network congestion can be effectively avoided and network bandwidth utilization can be optimized.
