Buy a PS5 and try to connect to the Wi-Fi 6 router!

Until a long time ago, people said that "high-speed and stable communication in the game is very important, and wired connection is a must," but the situation has changed a little before and after the debut of Wi-Fi 5. In Wi-Fi 5, which uses the 5 GHz band, it is not easy to be disturbed by radio waves such as microwave ovens, but also enhances the communication from multiple terminals.

Moreover, in Wi-Fi 6, in addition to further improving the communication speed, the communication from multiple terminals becomes more efficient, which can be said to further improve the adaptability to the game.

By the way, with regard to wired LAN connections, PS5 is also fixed with the 1000BASE-T of the fastest 1Gbps. In terms of specifications, compared with wired, wireless becomes a state in which high-speed communication can be carried out. However, it is not practical to communicate above 1Gbps if the connected Internet line is no more than 1GbpspsPS5. Even Wi-Fi can communicate in the same way as a wired LAN connection, which will be the immediate goal.

Based on this situation, actually set up PS5 and connect to the Wi-Fi 6 router. The detailed specification of PS5's Wi-Fi 6 is not recorded in the specification attached to the main body, but I am afraid it is 1201 Mbps.

This time, the Wi-Fi 6 compatible router made by Asustek is the cheapest, only about 10,000 yen, with a bandwidth of 80 MHz and a maximum transmission speed of 1201 Mbps (5 GHz band connection) or 574 Mbps (2.4 GHz band). Through the standard functions of "OFDMA" and "MU-MIMO" of Wi-Fi 6, the "RT-AX56U" which can make effective use of radio waves even in the environment with many Wi-Fi devices and the Wi-Fi environment with low speed delay is selected and verified.

As a unique function of Asustek, "Adaptive QoS", which can control the communication bandwidth for each terminal and application, and "AiProtection", which can protect network devices that cannot install security software, should complement PS5.
