Built For Busy Homes

MU-MIMO technology processes multiple data streams simultaneously, increasing real-time WiFi performance when multiple devices access the network.

Illustration showing band steering technology in wireless networks with devices being directed from a congested 2.4GHz frequency to a less crowded 5GHz frequency via multiple routers. The 2.4GHz band has a smartphone and a desktop computer, while the 5GHz band has a tablet.

Band Steering

Band steering alleviates network congestion by automatically directing wireless devices from the 2.4GHz band to the 5GHz band.

The illustration shows an office floor plan with multiple rooms and workstations. Two access points are highlighted, each emitting a circular Wi-Fi signal range. Dotted lines connect the access points, indicating network connectivity. One device is larger to emphasize it as the primary access point, ensuring comprehensive wireless coverage throughout the office space.

*Maximum wireless signal rates are referenced from IEEE 802.11 theoretical specifications. Actual data throughput and coverage will vary depending on interference, network traffic, building materials and other conditions. For maximum performance of up to 867Mbps use with an 867Mbps 802.11ac wireless adapter. For maximum performance of up to 300Mbps, use with a 300Mbps 802.11n wireless adapter. Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO) requires the use of multiple MU-MIMO enabled wireless adapters.
**Due to regulatory requirements, the wireless channels specified cannot be statically assigned, but will be available within the available wireless channels when set to auto.
