Unlock the Power of WiFi 6.

WHAT IS WIFI 6?

As the latest iteration of WiFi technology, WiFi 6 has been making waves since its release in 2019. With major improvements in speed, range, and overall connectivity, users can expect up to twice the speed of previous WiFi standards, as well as a 50% increase in range. In addition to these impressive improvements, WiFi 6 also offers increased privacy and security measures, including individual device authentication and the option for end-to-end encryption. Not only does WiFi 6 provide enhanced performance, but it is also more power-efficient and eco-friendly than previous iterations. It is also backwards compatible with WiFi 5 and WiFi 4, meaning that your devices will still be able to connect to WiFi 6 networks, although they will only do so at the lower speed of WiFi 5.

Benefits Of Wifi 6 For Businesses

Think of WiFi 6 as a highway for your devices to connect to networks. Not only can more cars (or devices) join the road at once without causing traffic jams (or unstable connections), but the speed limit has also increased, allowing for faster data transmission. This is especially handy when streaming video or gaming online, where a smooth ride is essential. But what about those times when there are more cars on the road than usual, like during rush hour? That’s where DrayTek’s WiFi 6 comes in with its dual-band technology. Imagine two lanes on the highway, one with a 2.4GHz frequency and the other with a 5GHz frequency. The 2.4GHz lane may not be as fast as the 5GHz lane due to its smaller and more crowded space, but it can sometimes navigate through obstacles, like walls and floors, better.

This means that in some home and office installations, the 2.4GHz lane can reach spots that the 5GHz lane may struggle to provide good performance to, such as a room on the other side of the house from the Access Point.

But the benefits of WiFi 6 don’t stop at speed and connectivity. It also has advanced security measures, including advanced encryption protocols, to keep hackers at bay. With DrayTek’s WPA3 Wireless Security and its 192-bit encryption strength for networks using RADIUS and 802.1x authentication, you can feel confident using WiFi in public places, like airports. In short, WiFi 6 is the ultimate package for faster, more secure connectionsmake sure to upgrade to DrayTek’s WiFi 6.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN WIFI 6 AND PREVIOUS GENERATIONS?

WiFi 6 is a major step up from WiFi 5 and WiFi 4, with a few standout features that set it apart. For starters, WiFi 6 is a breeze to set up, making it a breeze to get your network up and running. And with its lower power usage, WiFi 6 is a win for both your wallet and the environment. But the real game-changer for WiFi 6 is its individual device authentication. Unlike WiFi 5 and WiFi 4, which rely on group authentication, WiFi 6 can precisely identify individual devices and give them more tailored access to the network. So why settle for less when you can have the best with WiFi 6? Upgrade now and experience the power of individual device authentication.

HOW CAN BUSINESSES USE WIFI 6 TO THEIR ADVANTAGE?

With the increased bandwidth, improved signal strength, and enhanced security of WiFi 6, businesses can benefit in many ways. For example, WiFi 6 makes it easier to stream audio and video content, including VoIP calls and video conferences. Additionally, WiFi 6 networks can be used to connect IoT devices, such as sensors, automated doors, or security cameras. WiFi 6 can help businesses improve internal communication and workflow by facilitating better connections among employees. Furthermore, it can be used to create a more dynamic, engaging customer experience by improving WiFi hotspots at public locations. As previously mentioned, businesses can also use WiFi 6 to connect with other businesses and partners, enabling a new level of collaboration and information sharing.

Some of the notable upgrades that set WiFi 6 apart from WiFi 4 and WiFi 3 is:

1. Quicker and easier setup: No need to spend hours configuring your network, WiFi 6 can be up and running in no time.

2. Lower power usage: WiFi 6 is more energy-efficient, which is good for both your wallet and the environment.

3. Individual device authentication: Unlike WiFi 5 and WiFi 4, which use group authentication, WiFi 6 can identify individual devices and provide them with more precise access to the network.

WHAT HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE DO YOU NEED TO USE WIFI 6?

Ready to upgrade to WiFi 6 and unlock its full potential? You’ll need the right tools for the job. First and foremost, you’ll need devices with WiFi 6 capability to connect to a WiFi 6 network. While WiFi 5 devices can technically connect, they’ll only do so at the slower WiFi 5 speed. For the full WiFi 6 experience, you’ll want devices with WiFi 6 capability, like those from DrayTek.

In addition to WiFi 6 capable devices, you’ll also need WiFi 6 compatible access points or routers to get your network up and running. And if you want to extend the range of your WiFi 6 network, you’ll need compatible range extenders. Finally, don’t forget about WiFi 6 compatible network management software to keep everything running smoothly.
