5. Utilisation de votre routeur

Wi-Fi double bande 5.1

The R6300 router operates on two frequency bands: 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. This allows for greater flexibility and performance.

• Bande 2.4 GHz : Provides wider coverage and better penetration through walls, suitable for general internet browsing and devices further away from the router.
• Bande 5 GHz : Offers faster speeds and less interference, ideal for bandwidth-intensive activities like HD video streaming and online gaming, especially for devices closer to the router.

5.2 Technologie Beamforming+

Beamforming+ is a smart, signal-focusing technology that improves the speed, reliability, and range of your WiFi connections. Instead of broadcasting WiFi signals in all directions, Beamforming+ intelligently focuses the signals directly towards your connected devices.
