Enjoy a faster and more reliable connection in your Newport Beach, CA home

Your home network is the backbone of your smart home. More devices than ever rely on an internet connection to function. As you telecommute to work, stream 4K video, and more, you must have a network design that can support high-bandwidth activities. It might be time to invest in a more robust home networking solution to prevent a lagging or unreliable connection. Discover why you should upgrade to Wi-Fi 6 in your next home network installation.

What Is Wi-Fi 6?

Wi-Fi 6 is the latest generation of wireless networking. It makes connecting to the internet more efficient and faster. Wi-Fi 5's speed is 3.5 Gbps; Wi-Fi 6, in contrast, can go as fast as 9.6 Gbps. These figures are the theoretical maximums that you could reach, however, as the average download speed is less than one percent of that. But better speed means that Wi-Fi 6 supports connection to more devices.

Smart technology has become the new normal, and more devices are internet-reliant than ever. While smart tech adds unmatched convenience to your lifestyle, it can also slow down your internet connection. Your router can only communicate with so many devices at once before your network becomes overloaded. Wi-Fi 6 routers are crafted with this in mind and can effectively manage data transmission to all these devices.

The Key Technologies That Improve Network Speed And Allocation

Wi-Fi 6 achieves better speed and data allocation with two new technologies. OFDMA is short for orthogonal frequency division multiple access and allows one transmission to connect with various devices at once. Previous Wi-Fi generations were created to support web browsing, email access, and other low-density situations. Now, more people are connected than ever. They perform more intense functions than before, such as streaming 4K video, working from home or attending online school, or playing high-resolution games. OFDMA prevents network congestion (and slower speeds) by allocating bandwidth more efficiently and accommodating many users at the same time.

The other technology is MU-MIMO, which is short for multi-user, multiple input, multiple output. It allows the router to communicate with several devices at the same time rather than each device sequentially. Current routers can communicate with four devices simultaneously, but Wi-Fi 6 allows routers to communicate with up to eight.
