With the pandemic, the internet infrastructure used at home started to gain more importance. Especially, the fact that education and business processes started to be carried out from home has increased the need for fast internet even more. At this point, new generation routers and Wi-Fi technologies came to the fore
The vast majority of modems in our homes use Wi-Fi 5 technology. Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) has become widespread in the market as a new standard that has rapidly entered smart devices in recent years. Wi-Fi 6 aims to cope with the increasing demand for faster and more efficient internet networking. In addition, the new generation connection technology offers various improvements over Wi-Fi 5.
What are the differences between Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 6?
Thus, it is aimed to provide a more stable and faster experience in internet usage. Wi-Fi 5 technology can support a maximum speed of 433 Mbps and 32 devices can be connected at the same time. In addition, this technology has an average latency of 30 ms.
Wi-Fi 6, on the other hand, can see speeds of 1.2 Gbps and supports up to 128 devices at the same time. The connection technology, which promises a low connection delay of 10 ms, also has much lower power consumption than other modems. At this point, HUAWEI's AX3 Wi-Fi 6+ router stands out. The new generation router can support speeds up to 3000 Mbps thanks to its 160 MHz frequency width.
Taking Wi-Fi 6 technology one step further, the router provides speeds up to 3000Mbps thanks to this technology.
Offering three times faster speed than Wi-Fi 5, Wi-Fi 6 has 1024-QAM and 160 MHz bandwidth. In addition, Wi-Fi 6, which offers 4 times larger capacity, allows the router to connect to more devices at the same time with very little slowdown.
At this point, Wi-Fi 6 supports end-to-end 160MHz channel bandwidth and Huawei's proprietary dynamic narrowband technology. Combined, these two inventions lead to greatly improved Wi-Fi speeds and signal coverage.
Offering 2/3 lower latency compared to Wi-Fi 5, Wi-Fi 6 stands out with its faster response time when connecting multiple devices. Offering all this powerful performance with efficient power, the new connection technology exhibits 30 percent reduced power consumption compared to Wi-Fi 5.
