D-Link Wi-Fi 6 Router: Transition from Wi-Fi 5 to Wi-Fi 6

Out of many things that influence the lives of people, “Free” Wi-Fi has a special place and to get utmost speedy wifi, now you can go for the latest D-link Wi-Fi 6 Router, and to be particular on its name, it is known as D-Link EXO AX AX1800 Wi-Fi 6 Router — DIR-X1860.

Quite a mouthful, isn’t it? Well, that’s why I shortened it to just D-Link Wi-Fi 6 router in the title but you need to know that what particular it stands for.

The new D-Link Wi-Fi 6 router is said to be a carrier of Wi-Fi 6 and before you understand what it actually delivers, I would like you to put you through the changes that occurred in the transition from Wi-Fi 5 to Wi-Fi 6. Here are some of the technical aspects that you need to know:

• Supported Wi-Fi Bands:

While Wi-Fi 5 had frequency support of 5GHz, Wi-Fi 6 supports an additional 2.4GHz apart from the original 5GHz.

• 2x2 Configuration Speed:

While the configuration speed in Wi-Fi 5 was 1167Mbps, it has been boosted to 1774Mbps in Wi-Fi 6.

• Subcarrier Aggregation:

The subcarrier aggregation support in Wi-Fi 5 is OFDM while that in Wi-Fi 6 is OFDMA.

• QAM:

While in Wi-Fi 5 it is 256-QAM, in Wi-Fi 6 is it 1024-QAM which is 25 percent higher.

So Wi-Fi 6 is bound to deliver you a better and speedier internet experience and D-Link has already made sure that you get the best. This is why the D-Link EXO AX AX1800 Wi-Fi 6 Router — DIR-X1860 has some really interesting features which could make it your new favorite.

Talking about the features, the real power behind the new Wi-Fi 6 router by D-Link is a combo of MediaTek SoCs.

Other Interesting Technology Features:

Talking about the combo, there is MediaTek MT7621A SoC which is dual-core in nature and acts as a network accelerator. Coupling it is a MediaTek MT7915 SoC which is a Wi-Fi 6 connectivity platform, and together, they work really well to offer you awesome connectivity.

Among the other features in the new D-Link Wi-Fi 6 router, you get dual-band wi-fi support that allows up to 4 simultaneous streams and due to this, you achieve a seamless experience even with the most demanding games, 4K streaming or video chatting.

As I mentioned earlier, there is OFDMA technology with Wi-Fi and the new D-Link router couples it with MU-MIMO technology that communicate data to more and more uses while reducing the lag as well. The next up in the technology department is the BSS coloring technology that checks the interference in the noisy Wi-Fi environments so as to make efficient use of the available spectrum.

There is “Intelligent Quality of Service (QoS)” which designates the network traffic and lessens the impact of busy bandwidth.

About D-Link Wi-Fi 6 Router:

Away from being brimful with the technology, the new Wi-Fi 6 router from D-Link has some really special features as well. There are 4 Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports and a lone Gigabit Ethernet WAN port that provide optional wired connectivity. It supports an enhanced battery life of connected devices with Target Wake Time technology and supports the latest 128-bit industry-standard Wi-Fi encryption.

Need easier controls to the router? Well, the new D-Link Wi-Fi router has voice control feature to turn the wi-fi networking experience easier. Moreover, there is an easy to install D-Link Wi-Fi smartphone application that allows you to manage parental controls better.

So the overall impression of the new D-Link EXO AX AX1800 Wi-Fi 6 Router — DIR-X1860 (I am literally copy-pasting this name) is quite good and I suppose this could be a good option for your domestic as well as professional needs.
