Are there times when your Wi-Fi connection goes slower than normal or is choppy? This is because the band through which we connect most of the users (2.4GHz) is getting saturated, creating interference and connection failures. Fortunately, there are already routers that are capable of transmitting on a more powerful and less congested band. Keep reading and discover everything you need to know about the new 5GHz band.
DUAL BAND ROUTER, WHAT IS IT? Nowadays, most of the users that connect to our WiFi do so through the 2.4GHz band. So many users transmitting data simultaneously causes the congestion level of the network to increase, and with it the interferences or malfunctions. Enterprise routers are basic product for any business/enterprise. A router with Dual Band function is capable of transmitting through 2 bands , 2.4GHz and 5GHz. What is the difference between the two? · 5GHz band : it has more power and less range · 2.4GHz band : has lower power and greater range To know if you have a Dual Band device you can look at the sticker on the back of your router. In it, you will see that you have 2 networks. We recommend that you connect to both networks to have a better performance of the connection, getting to have the widest coverage (2.4GHz band) together with a lower saturation (5GHz band). Once connected, it is necessary that you have a device (mobile, laptop, tablet, ...) compatible with WiFi AC or that works also in 5GHz to benefit from these advantages. Important: In case you have a Dual Band device, you must always connect to the 5GHz network last. WIFI AC IEEE 802.11ac (also known as WiFi AC , WiFi 5G or WiFi Gigabit ) is the evolution of the previous version WiFi N. It offers theoretical speeds of 1.3Gbit / s and circulates through the 5GHz band, much less saturated with the 2.4GHz band. What advantages does it offer compared to its previous version? · With its speed of 1.3Gbits / s, it is almost three times faster than the current standard. Reach the same speeds as the cable (1Gbps) · By using the 5GHz band, much less saturated, does not suffer cuts or interference. · It has a lower power consumption than the IEEE 802.11n (Wireless N) standard. · It is capable of connecting more devices simultaneously. WHAT DO I NEED TO HAVE WIFI AC CONNECTION?In order to enjoy this connection you need:
