Why do you need a Wi-Fi 6 router at home

0

In this day, a lot of us are having more and more IoT products at home as we rely on smart products these days and if we have a lot of smart devices at home or we require more bandwidth at home then we better have a brand new Wi-Fi 6 routers that are now getting more affordable. One of them is the Huawei WiFi AX3 WiFi 6 router. But do we really need it? well, here are some reasons why you should get one for your home.

We consume more bandwidth

In this pandemic where a lot of us are spending our time at home, a lot of us are spending our time on work and school at home which means that we consume more data at home now compared to before. And if a lot of us are at home, we consume more bandwidth and in order to prevent the bottleneck, we better have a WiFi 6 router that offers larger bandwidth and better LAN speeds.

Wi-Fi 6 can handle more devices

Like I’ve said earlier, we now have more IoT devices at home including lights and vacuum cleaner. Some routers cannot handle a lot of connections and some even only have 2.4GHz but thankfully, the WiFi 6 routers in the market right now can handle more IoT devices. Devices like Huawei WiFi AX3  that I use can handle more IoT devices and my review units of smartphones and I didn’t had a single problem with it.

It’s faster

Well, it’s a known fact that the WiFi 6 routers are faster. Basically, it offers 9.6 Gbps compared to the 3.5 Gbps speed on the WiFi 5. So if you’re transferring a lot of files via Wi-Fi or a lot of you are using Wi-Fi to transmit data then you might want to check out Wi-Fi 6.

Better for gaming

Cloud gaming is one of the biggest things in gaming today and with WiFi 6, you can have a better experience when playing on cloud services. But it’s not just cloud services because you can also experience better streaming quality and better latency when you’re using remote desktop or remote play on your PS5

It’s now affordable

The best part about Wi-Fi 6 routers today is they are more affordable than ever. For the Huawei WiFi AX3 router, it’s really affordable and easy to set up. The WiFi 6+ router comes with a price tag Php3,999 which is really reasonable especially with the growing demands of consumers these days.
