Do not spend money in vain to choose only the most suitable for their routers In the face of the overwhelming number of WiFi 6 routers coming on the market, whether they really need to upgrade has become a major headache for users. Just what kind of router is suitable for you? Let's talk about this topic today. In the present day, remote video conferencing and Internet classes at home have become the mainstream network applications for families. In the face of the overwhelming number of WiFi 6 routers on the market, whether you really need to upgrade yourself has become a major headache for users. Exactly what kind of router is suitable for you? Let's talk about this topic today. First, let's take a look at the features of WiFi 6. WiFi 6 is faster, supports more concurrent devices, has lower latency and consumes less power than the most popular WiFi 5. WiFi 6 uses the same OFDMA technology as 5G, combined with 1024-QAM high-order modulation, and can support up to 160MHz bandwidth, which is nearly three times faster than WiFi 5. Intelligent frequency division technology, which can support more concurrent devices, improves access device capacity by 4 times. More concurrent access devices reduces queuing and interference coloring is actively avoided, allowing latency to be reduced by two-thirds. When the terminal device is on standby, it supports on-demand wake-up function, allowing the terminal power consumption to be reduced by 30%. We can compare the scenario of router to device transmission to a fleet of vehicles. Under the WiF i5 standard, the departure fleet can only be dispatched to one customer at the same moment, even if there is an empty car, it will be dispatched as usual, and if there is a car failure (interference), the whole fleet cannot be dispatched. Under the WiFi 6 standard, a fleet of vehicles departing at the same time can form a squad of at least 26 adjacent vehicles, each of which can be dispatched to different customers, and if a vehicle breaks down (interferes), only the squad in which it is located is affected. Normally, when we are at home, we often search for our neighbors' WiFi signals, which can interfere with our own WiFi transmissions. And WiFi 6 uses interference coloring technology that marks frames of neighboring network signals coming through the wall, so that users' routers can ignore them. WiFi signals between neighbors can transmit data simultaneously on the same channel without interfering with each other, reducing interference rates by 30 percent. The difference in power consumption between WiFi 6 and WiFi 5 is huge. WiFi 6 negotiates the timing of WiFi wake-up with the terminal, so that it wakes up on demand and does not consume power during other sleep times. WiFi 5 can only communicate with one device at the same moment, and all terminals connected to the same route are either in transmission or waiting state, and are disordered, and the waiting state still requires power consumption. It is clear that WiFi 6 is an all-encompassing technical transcendence compared to WiFi 5. Laptops, smartphones, tablets and other products currently being launched in the second half of 2019 are already all equipped with WiFi 6 wireless cards, so if users upgrade their home routers to WiFi 6 routing, they can enjoy a faster WiFi Internet experience. So, it is still necessary to replace WiFi 6 routing. However, if there are no WiFi 6 terminals at home, such as laptops, smartphones and tablets at home do not support WiFi 6, then upgrading the WiFi 6 router is not necessary.
