Setting up a wireless LAN router for the first time is OK!　Let's set up the RT-N66U

If you are thinking of installing or replacing a wireless router, now is the right time.

Unfortunately, the timing of the consumption tax increase is almost over, but over the past few years, a new wireless LAN standard called "IEEE 802.11ac", which has been undergoing adjustments for a long time, has finally been officially established and is now available in the market. The products of each manufacturer that are sold now comply with the official standards.

The biggest feature of IEEE 802.11ac is its speed. The actual communication speed varies depending on the product, but the maximum speed is 1,300 Mbps, about three times that of the previous IEEE 802.11n (450 Mbps) standard. It is a standard that is 24 times faster.

Some models of smartphones are already compatible with IEEE 802.11ac, and can communicate at a maximum of 433Mbps. When downloading large applications, movies, music, etc., or uploading a large number of photos, you may have to pay attention to the slow speed or transfer volume limit on the communication service provider's line. yeah.

However, if you have a wireless LAN router at home that supports high-speed communication, you will be able to use various devices comfortably and without worrying about restrictions.

Of course, the latest IEEE 802.11ac compatible wireless LAN router may be tight on budget. In that case, you can choose a product that supports IEEE 802.11n. Wireless LAN can be used in two frequency bands, 2.4GHz and 5GHz, but the 2.4GHz band, which is originally narrow and has too many devices, is already too crowded and comfortable. cannot communicate with

However, recent IEEE 802.11n compatible products support both 2.4GHz and 5GHz, so you can avoid the crowded 2.4GHz band and use the wireless LAN comfortably in the vacant 5GHz band. It is now possible.

This spring is the perfect time for high-end users to get a high-speed IEEE 802.11ac compatible machine, and for general users to introduce a reasonable IEEE 802.11n machine that supports both 2.4/5GHz. .
