Wi-Fi features
- OFDMA
What is OFDMA?
Table stakes50 of 79 listed here
Splits a channel into smaller slices so several devices are served in the same instant instead of taking turns.
Look at instead: streams per radio and channel width — those set the ceiling OFDMA divides up
Full entry → - MU-MIMO
What is MU-MIMO?
Table stakes46 of 79 listed here
Lets the router hold separate conversations with several devices at once using different antenna streams.
Look at instead: the stream count on each radio — a 4×4 radio has twice the streams of a 2×2 to hand out
Full entry → - DFS channels
What is DFS channels?
Depends on your setup18 of 79 listed here
Extra 5 GHz channels shared with weather and military radar, which the router must abandon the moment it hears one.
Look at instead: whether your neighbourhood is actually congested, and whether the router lets you turn DFS off
