Wi-Fi Explained

Wi-Fi and the internet are often confused, but they are most definitely not the same thing. Here's the key difference between them: the Internet is the digital network that allows communication between all users, while Wi-Fi connects your devices to the Internet using radio waves.

Why Wi-Fi?

• Wireless convenience with no cables required.
• Connect multiple devices at the same time.
• Mobility within your coverage area.
• Supports a wide range of uses including work, VoIP, CCTV, cloud services, and streaming.
  
  

Wi-Fi Frequency Bands

• 2.4 GHz — longer range, slower speed. Best for devices further from the router.
• 5 GHz — faster speed, shorter range. Best for devices closer to the router.
• 6 GHz (Wi-Fi 6E) — very high speed and low latency. Best for demanding applications in close range.
