How does WiFi 6 benefit me ? How does WiFi 6 benefit me ?
WiFi that Goes Further
We’ve designed RT-AX50 to give you the widest possible WiFi coverage. It uses OFDMA, a new technology in WiFi 6 that allows signals to travel further than they can in WiFi 5. The 2x2 MIMO configuration helps too, as do other enhancements like beamforming, which focuses the signal towards each device.
Be a Streaming Hero
WiFi 6 has the speed and power to deliver online video streaming at the original quality, so you can avoid annoying resolution downgrades. It also means you can download movies much faster for offline viewing!
BSS Coloring Boosts Connection Efficiency
WiFi 6 includes a new feature called BSS Coloring that improves WiFi connection efficiency even in crowded environments. When two neighboring routers send traffic on the same channel, your router has to wait until the channel is free. With BSS Coloring, your WiFi 6 router identifies its data with a unique channel tag ('color') that's different from neighboring networks. Your WiFi 6 router can then ignore other-colored signals on the channel and send data immediately.* This greatly reduces router waiting times and boosts network efficiency.
*A BSS Coloring-compatible client is needed to enjoy the benefit.
