Router with Wi-Fi 6 and gaming modes announced

Already from The current WiFi standard for 2019 is 802.11 ax, Also known as WiFi 6, can be officially found on WLAN cards. To benefit from the new standard, the system needs not only a valid WLAN card, but also a compatible router. Asus sends now TUF Gaming AX5400 In racing. Priced at around 160 160, the router with three gaming modes is sure to impress gamers in particular.

The Asus TUF Gaming AX5400 has a gaming port

The router has a 4×4 MU-MIMO configuration and has separate 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz antennas to reduce interference. Additionally, two Gigabit LAN ports can be almost interconnected to provide two Gbit / s for Internet connection. Especially for gamers, there is a dedicated gaming port that prioritizes connected devices. Mobile gamers can use the Asus router processor to prioritize their smartphone. Three-level port expansion can be implemented using open NAT. For home office use, for example conference calls have a separate priority.

One of them What’s new in WiFi 6? Or the 802.11 ax is a great use for frequency bands in the 2.4 and 5 GHz range. With technology called MU-OFDMA (Multi User Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access), the WLAN signal is now delivered to more subcarriers than the previous standard Wi-Fi 6, 802.11 ac. There are 1,960 units to replace the new generation. Just 64 unique links. This means that more users can be active on the same WLAN network with less delay.

In 1024 quadrature amplitude modulation mode, the frequency bands and channels are used most efficiently, which in theory should be below 1.2 Gbit per second. However, there are no end devices that fully support this mode, which means that in real context the transfer rate will be below this value. Finally, the environment should also have as little radiation as possible and without interference to achieve such a value. For this purpose, the channels used are now marked in color so that the two neighboring WLAN networks can no longer join each other.
