Hello dear friends! Imagine that WiFi technology is an escalating martial arts competition, and various sects have launched their own unique skills. And our protagonist wifi5 (i.e. 80211AC) and a new generation of master WiFi6 (also known as 80211ax), are the two heroes who have attracted much attention in this competition.
Speed Showdown: "Speed of the Wind" vs "Lightning Speed".
In terms of speed, WiFi5 is like a predecessor with deep internal strength, with a "speed of the wind", the maximum transmission rate can reach 35Gbps has already amazed many users. However, the up-and-coming wifi6 has practiced a more advanced "lightning fast hand" magic skill, and the theoretical maximum transmission rate has soared to 96Gbps, almost three times more than the predecessor. This means that when you are in ultra-high-definition movies, cloud gaming or large-scale file transfer, the hero of wifi6 can let you experience the feeling of flying, and in the blink of an eye, the data has come from the horizon to your eyes.
Frequency band competition: "A single sword to the end of the world" vs "Two swords combined".
WiFi5This veteran is good at the 5GHz frequency band, like holding a sharp sword, although it can cut many obstacles to high-speed networks, but in some scenarios that need to take into account coverage and stability, it seems a bit difficult to stand alone. And wifi6 is the new grandmaster of "double sword", not only can control the 5GHz frequency band, but also practice 2The martial arts of the 4GHz frequency band, which is like it has both a long sword and a short knife, can not only cope with the needs of long-distance transmission, but also flexibly handle low-speed equipment access, which can be described as both internal and external, and fully adapt to various complex environments.
Modulation mode: from "binary light work" to "decimal Qiankun shift".
The 256-QAM modulation method used by WiFi5 is like a light and ethereal binary martial arts, and the data unit transmitted each time is relatively small. And wifi6 breakthrough mastered the 1024-qam this "decimal Qiankun shift", one time can carry more information, so that the data capacity transmitted in the same time greatly increased, the Internet is as efficient and fast as teleportation, no longer have to worry about the ** buffer of the small circle rotation non-stop.
Concurrent duel: "Alone in the rivers and lakes" and "thousands of troops".
Wifi5The MU-MIMO technology used can allow multiple devices to receive data at the same time, but after all, it still has its limitations, and it can only be done in four parallel ways at most, as if four masters are competing on the same stage. WiFi6 has taken this skill to a new level, introducing a more powerful OFDMA (orthogonal frequency division multiple access) technology to achieve more devices concurrent and efficient use of bandwidth, which is like thousands of troops can receive instructions at the same time in an orderly manner, which greatly improves the network efficiency when a large number of devices are connected to the Internet at the same time, especially for smart home or office environments.
Energy saving and consumption reduction: "sunrise, sunset" to "intelligent sleep".
In the past, the wifi5 router was like an iron man who worked hard but did not know how to rest, but wifi6 began to understand the way of health preservation, and introduced TWT (target wake time) technology, which can accurately schedule the wake-up time of each wireless device to avoid unnecessary power consumption. In this way, your mobile phone, tablet and other devices are like learning to go to bed and wake up on time, which is both power-saving and healthy, killing two birds with one stone.
Friends, wifi6, a rookie in the martial arts, not only surpasses wifi5 in terms of speed, frequency band, modulation mode, etc., but also shows significant advantages in reducing latency, supporting more concurrent devices, and saving energy and reducing emissions. If you are a person who pursues the ultimate network speed, has the need to connect multiple devices to the Internet, or is in a modern living environment with serious interference, choosing WiFi6 will undoubtedly bring you a smoother and more efficient wireless network experience, and truly realize the happiness of the wireless world.
