Upgrade Your Network with WiFi 6
The latest WiFi 6 standard implements advanced technology designed to deliver more simultaneous stable connections, extend WiFi range, and maintain reliably fast data transmissions, satisfying the demand for a high-performance wireless experience.
Level Up Your Speeds up to 40% Faster
By combining 1024-QAM and a long OFDM symbol, MR60X delivers gigabit fast speeds up to 1500 Mbps for all your WiFi devices - 1201 Mbps on 5 GHz and 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz. Game online, watch 4K videos, and crank up everything to the highest settings without lag.
Connect 4x More Devices at Once More Streams, More Devices, More Fun
WiFi 6 also improves network capacity to better address the increased demand on home networks. With MU-MIMO and OFDMA, MR60X transmits data to and from multiple devices at the same time, reaching up to 4x more capacity, greatly increasing your devices' transmission efficiency and the throughput of your whole network under the same conditions.
WiFi 5 OFDM
Wastes bandwidth - Uses full channel bandwidth to transmit data for only one device at a time
WiFi 6 OFDMA
Makes full use of your bandwidth - Allows simultaneous data transmissions to and from several devices sharing one band
Without MU-MIMO
Serves only one device at a time while all other devices that rely on that connection are forced to wait
With MU-MIMO
Transfers data streams to more devices simultaneously, improving overall network efficiency
Broader, Stronger Coverage
Four powerful high-gain antennas armed with advanced wireless technology provide strong signals throughout your home. Beamforming detects your connected devices and concentrates wireless signal strength towards them, making your connections more stable.
Overall Security Protection
The latest security standard, WPA3, provides improved comprehensive WiFi protection to defend your devices and private information against brute-force attacks.
Protection Against Brute-Force Attacks
Prevents password-guessing attacks and delivers robust protections even when you are using a weak password
Your Data Is Safer
Forward Secrecy support prevents any captured data from being snooped even if a cracker compromises a session's secret keys
Advanced Encryption Security
128-Bit Encryption, which is considered to be logically unbreakable, creates an active defense against security threats and intruders
Less WiFi Interference
BSS Color marks the data frames from different APs which helps minimize the signal interference from your neighbors to improve transmission efficiency.
Eco-Friendly Power Saving
Target Wake Time reduces power consumption for your mobile and IoT devices during data transmissions to extend battery life.
Smart Connect Combines Two Bands in One
Equipped with next-gen WiFi 6, both 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz are upgraded to the latest generation. Smart Connect combines the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands into a single WiFi SSID and helps your devices intelligently choose the best available band that has the stronger signal and faster speed. This keeps your devices always running optimally when you walk around your home.
