Gigabit WiFi to Mobile Devices
Support for 160MHz channel allows the Nighthawk AX8 WiFi 6 Mesh Extender to stream at Gigabit speeds to supported mobile devices, which are increasingly used for video streaming or gaming.
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA)
Using the uplink and downlink OFDMA§ feature of WiFi 6, the WiFi traffic is managed much more efficiently since data is transmitted from different devices concurrently, rather than having each device’s data wait for its turn. This results in in an efficient use of air-time, reduced latency, and increased bandwidth to add more devices to your network.
