1.2.1 Dual-Band WiFi
The Zyxel Device supports dual-band 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WiFi. IEEE 80211a/b/g/n/ac/ax compliant clients, such as notebooks, tablets, and smartphones can wirelessly connect to the Zyxel Device to access network resources. WiFi clients can use the 2.4 GHz band for regular Internet surfing and downloading while using the 5 GHz band for time sensitive traffic like high-definition video, music, and gaming.

1.2.2 WiFi 6 Introduction
The Zyxel Device supports WiFi 6 standards and brings the following features for WiFi 6 compatible client devices.
WiFi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax)
WiFi 6 is a WiFi standard that supports both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands and brings the following major improvements:
Higher Data Transmission Speed
WiFi 6 provides faster transmission data rate than the previous WiFi standards with the following features:

  • 1024-QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) – enhances the data capacity of each transmission Unit.
  • 160 MHz Channel Bandwidth – extends the supported channel bandwidth to 160 MHz, providing higher data throughput.

Enhanced Air Time Utilization
WiFi 6 increases transmission performance in high-density environments that have multiple client devices with the following features:

  • OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access) – divides channels into sub-channels that enables multiple transmissions in a single channel.
  • BSS Coloring – tags traffic by BSS (Basic Service Set) and identifies traffic from overlapping BSSs. The AP can ignore traffic of unrelated BSSs and transmit data when a channel is occupied.
  • MU-MIMO (Multiple User-Multiple Input Multiple Output) – enables multiple users to connect to the AP and download/upload traffic simultaneously.

Extended Signal Range
Beamforming – forms the radiating signals into one direction. This enhances the signal strength and extends the signal transmission range.
Extended Battery Life
TWT (Target Wake Time) – The AP negotiates with client devices so client devices only wakes up and communicates with the AP in specific periods. This conserves client devices battery life.
