The band frequency spectrum
As already mentioned, the band frequencies operate under the spectrum of 2.4 GHz or 2.4 GHz and 5GHz. These frequencies ensure better coverage and bandwidth, which ultimately influence the effectiveness of Internet signal distribution and transmission.
The communication protocol
Devices that connect to a Wifi router must support the communication protocol present on the device – through the 802.11 descriptions that is marked on the packaging of each device and allows the devices to communicate with each other regardless of their provider. However, in addition to each equipment is added the indication of the protocol standard. And there are several, the most important being:
Devices that connect to a Wifi router must support the communication protocol on the device itself – through 802.11 description that allows devices to communicate with each other regardless of their provider. However, in addition to each equipment is added the indication of the protocol standard. And there are several, the most important of which are:
802.11b – The first Wifi standard adopted by consumers.
802.11g – For higher quality of service (QoS).
802.11n – for a longer range. It is present in various existing equipment in our daily lives.
802.11ac – For higher speeds (maximum speeds of 6.93 Gbps: 4 × 4 MU-MIMO 4 x 867 Mbps x 2).
802.11ax – To increase overall network speed, but also Wifi speeds of individual clients.
Smart wireless management is nowadays required, and in this chapter, Google Wifi router is one step ahead of the rest. It incorporates Wifi functionality into a fairly simple and easy-to-use Android application (other manufacturers do it too, but the reference is Google).
#5 – Wifi Router Speed VS Internet Speed
In choosing the best Wifi router, it is crucial to understand the difference between router speed and internet speed, as they are both quite different. The speed of the Wifi router is related to how fast the router can transmit information in megabytes per second and not necessarily the speed of your internet connection.
You will notice quite a few differences when you need to send files between devices (such as when sending music files that have already been downloaded to the speaker) because in this particular case the transmission of information is not speeding dependent from the Internet.
