ASCII.jp If you connect multiple devices to wireless LAN, it is decided by the "Archer A10" of high speed 1733 + 800Mbps

If you only use Wi-Fi at home, inexpensive Wi-Fi routers such as 433 + 150Mbps are not particularly troubled, but it is not enough to use on a computer.Then it is natural to think about 867 + 300Mbps.

Of course, if you live alone with a personal computer, this is enough.However, if you have a family, there will be more devices that use Wi-Fi, such as smartphones, tablets, TVs, game consoles, and smart home appliances in addition to personal computers, and will quickly worry.Be careful, especially if you use a personal computer and save the file to the NAS.Wi-Fi speed declines are directly connected to the Access speed decrease in the NAS, but even if the computer is high specifications, it is a treasure rotary if you wait for communication.

A function to prevent the speed of speed mounted on 1733 + 800Mbps "Archer A10"

"Archer A10" is 1733Mbps, 2 in the 5GHz band, despite the fact that the price is around 10,000 yen..The feature is that it has a high speed of 800Mbps in the 4GHz band.This was realized by using a total of four antennas, three external and one inside, and for applications that require high -speed, such as files transfer to NAS, as well as connecting multiple devices.It will meet your expectations.

↑ There are three external antennas, but in fact there is another another antenna inside.This achieves a speed of up to 1733Mbps.

The "Archer A10" has three functions to maintain this high speed.Let's briefly explain each.

First of all, the high-speed function you want to check is to support "MU-MIMO".

The old Wi-Fi router has only one device that can communicate, and simultaneous connections have been achieved by switching the communication destinations one after another.As a result, the more devices using Wi-Fi, the lower the speed, and the communication itself tended to be unstable.

On the other hand, "MU-MIMO" allows simultaneous data communication with multiple devices.Because there is no need to wait for the order, the speed is hard to decrease, so that all connected devices can be used comfortably.With "Archer A10", up to four devices can communicate simultaneously, so it is quite comfortable for ordinary households.

However, MU-MIMO requires not only Wi-Fi routers but also devices.If it is a device released in recent years, it is often supported, so if you are interested, you should check it out.In addition, even if it is not supported, you will not be unable to communicate, so please be relieved.

In the past, one that had been communicating one by one, but with MU-MIMO, up to four devices can be communicated simultaneously.Because the waiting time is reduced, communication becomes comfortable.

The second high -speed function is "band steering"."Archer A10" is 5GHz band and 2.Two bands in the 4GHz band can be used, but the bands that are often used tend to be biased.PCs and smartphones are 5GHz, TV and home appliances are 2.Even if you seem to be 4GHz, only 5GHz bands are used depending on the time of day, 2.It is not unusual for nobody to use the 4GHz band.

"Band Steering" eliminates the bias of such a band.If the use of the 5GHz band is concentrated 2.To the 4GHz band, conversely 2.If the 4GHz band is crowded, the device is assigned to the 5GHz band to maintain a comfortable communication speed.

↑ 5GHz and 2."Band steering" is to eliminate 4GHz bias and use it at a comfortable speed.You can make effective use of empty bands.

The third is "Air Time Farness".In an environment where high -speed devices and low -speed devices are mixed, high -speed devices tend to end up with communication, but with low -speed devices, and high -speed devices tend to be waiting.

"Air Time Farness" is a function that divides the corresponding time equally regardless of the speed of the connected device.The "Archer A10" that corresponds to this will enable high -speed devices to communicate without waiting for a long time with low -speed devices, which improves the response considerably.

If only a few devices are connected, it is not so effective, but the difference will be large in the environment used by an unspecified number of people, for example, a company conference room.Even if you are at home, if you connect a large number of Wi-Fi compatible devices such as old game consoles, HDD recorders, and television, the effect will be more effective.

↑ If you divide it in communication units, the time spent by low -speed devices will be longer, but if the "air -time fairness" is compatible, the time will be assigned evenly, so high -speed devices will not be waiting.
