Why is my Wi-Fi connection so bad? The answer is not always obvious. Diagnosing your internet connection is pretty tough, let alone troubleshooting. Sometimes it’s due to the configuration of the devices. Yet the network, too, could make a bad decision. Even wireless mesh networks are not infallible. Here’s how...

TL;DR*: Faster speeds: about 3.6 times faster than Wi-Fi 6 on 2.4GHz, 5GHz and 6GHz Up to 40Gbps speeds Wider bandwidth, across multiple bands (MLO) Lower latency, even in congested environments Improvements to worst-case latency & jitter * abbreviation: too long; didn’t read: used by the writer before a summary...

Wi-Fi 6 is the latest generation in the well-known and very widely adopted Wi-Fi technology. Wi-Fi 1 was launched in 1999, and version 6 was officially presented in 2019. The previous generations used the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, so did Wi-Fi 6 (to not make it confusing), but...

More than 20 years ago, when Wi-Fi was introduced, it opened up the first communication lanes in the 2.4 GHz band. We got around 80 MHz of unlicensed spectrum, which we can use for our wireless communication. Maybe a bit more, maybe a bit less, depending on the country you...

The specification of Wi-Fi 6 is maturing, and more and more clients and access points (APs) are being rolled out in the field. At the same time, we are still on the verge of the (r)evolution – making it the perfect moment to take a look at what we can...

The COVID-19 pandemic is forcing many people to work from home, causing a tremendous increase in data flows on access networks. This huge reliance on home internet services creates new challenges for Wi-Fi networks, especially in urban locations. In these locations, interference between overlapping networks was already an issue –...
