Product Features
Technical Overview
This router implements IEEE 802.11ac wireless technology, classified as Wi-Fi 5, providing efficient data transmission over both ISM (2.4 GHz) and UNII (5 GHz) bands. The dual-band architecture allows devices to connect on the less congested 5 GHz band for high-bandwidth activities like HD video streaming, while maintaining compatibility with legacy 2.4 GHz devices.
Four external antennas support MU-MIMO (Multi-User, Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output) capabilities, enabling simultaneous data streams to multiple clients. The router includes four Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports and one Gigabit WAN port for wired connectivity, plus a USB 2.0 port for peripheral sharing. VPN pass-through support is included for secure remote access.
Relevant factors for this section include Wi-Fi Generation, Broadband Transmission Technology, Wireless LAN Standard, ISM Band. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.
