Comparing the speed of 2x2 802.11ax on 5 GHz / 80 MHz channels with 1024QAM modulation to speed of 2x2 802.11ac on 5 GHz / 80 MHz channels with 256QAM modulation.
4X More Efficient Connections
OFDMA and MU-MIMO greatly increase connection efficiency, giving improved network capacity.
A WiFi 6-compatible router is required to enjoy all the benefits of the WiFi 6 standard.
OFDMA divides frequency channels into smaller sub-channels, which means they can travel further.
80% Longer Range
OFDMA divides frequency channels into smaller sub-channels, which means they can travel further.
Refers to uplink OFDMA performance.
Target Wake Time allows devices to sleep when they are not active, reducing power consumption.Model
