ASUS has released the next-generation standard Wi-Fi 6 compatible tri-band Wi-Fi router "RT-AX92U"!

What is the next-generation high-speed wireless "Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE802.11ax)"?

I asked LAN Cableman, a network engineer who is in charge of the infrastructure of the Fangler Group.

"Wi-Fi 6" is an abbreviation for Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, a standard set by the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers). "Wi-Fi 6" is the notation defined by the Wi-Fi Alliance to make "IEEE 802.11ax" easy to understand. It will be. The current mainstream is "Wi-Fi 5" of "IEEE 802.11ac" formulated in 2014, but "Wi-Fi 6" is just the next generation wireless LAN standard just formulated in 2019.

"Wi-Fi 5" has only the frequency 5GHz band, while "Wi-Fi 6" can use both 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency bands, and the maximum communication speed is 9.6Gbps, which is quite high performance even with specifications alone. I understand.

It is also excellent in that it is less crowded and the battery consumption of the terminal can be suppressed. There is no doubt that these latest technologies will be innovative not only in daily life but also in the game industry.

More detailed information is posted on the ASUS "RT-AX92U" product page, so some excerpts are available.

As shown in the figure above, it is 2.7 times faster than the previous generation standard "Wi-Fi 6". I think there is demand for a wide range of applications, not only from streaming to gaming, but also in business.

Wireless connection with multiple devices is prone to delays, especially for events held by multiple people. However, with "Wi-Fi 6", a small subchannel is divided into each channel and signals from multiple devices are transmitted together, so a smoother and delay-free communication environment is realized.

Besides, it is possible to reduce the battery consumption of the connection destination, and it is just like a communication standard of the new era. Details are explained on the ASUS "RT-AX92U" product page, so if you want to know detailed technical information, please refer to the product page.
