The modern home places far more demands on a domestic wireless network than before. It’s no longer the case that you only need your phone and your computer to connect and go online. Today, all sorts of devices demand internet access, such as tablets, televisions, games consoles, connected home devices and more.
The latest home networking technologies such as TP-Link’s AX3000 Archer Air R5 router and AX3000 Archer Air E5 extender answer these demands. The latest wireless protocol, 802.11ax which is also known as Wi-Fi 6, is not only faster than previous standards but is also designed to cope with a greater number of simultaneous connections. By handling network traffic more efficiently, Wi-Fi 6 can give a reduction in latency of up to 75%.
