MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) uses several antennas at both ends of a Wi-Fi link to send parallel spatial streams and raise speed and range.
OFDMA is the Wi-Fi multiple access method that splits a channel into resource units so an access point can serve several devices in one transmission.
An SSID (service set identifier) is the name of a Wi-Fi network, up to 32 bytes long, that access points advertise and clients use to choose…
Wi-Fi 6 is the Wi-Fi Alliance name for IEEE 802.11ax, a wireless LAN generation built for efficiency in crowded networks through OFDMA and MU-MIMO.
Wi-Fi 6E extends the 802.11ax Wi-Fi standard into the 6 GHz band, adding wide, uncongested channels reserved for modern devices.
Wi-Fi 7 is the IEEE 802.11be wireless standard, adding 320 MHz channels, 4096-QAM and multi-link operation for faster, steadier Wi-Fi connections.
WPA3 is the Wi-Fi security standard that replaces WPA2, using SAE handshakes and mandatory management frame protection to secure wireless networks.
