Ešte nikdy nebola rýchlosť WiFi taká dôležitá. Schválne si skúste spočítať, koľko máte doma bezdrôtovo pripojených zariadení. Určite ich nebude málo. A keď k tomu pridáte napríklad požiadavku na pohodlné streamovanie videa, on-line výučbu alebo home office, tak drvivej väčšine routerov dôjde dych. Preto je potrebné WiFi sieť nielen zrýchliť tak, aby zodpovedala štandardu WiFi 802.11ac. Čo všetko takýto štandard dokáže a čím sa líši od starších WiFi generácií?

This generation, based on the IEEE 802.11ac standard, has brought significant improvements in wireless connectivity. Operating in the 5 GHz band, it offered theoretical speeds of up to 3.5 Gbps. This generation also included advanced features such as MU-MIMO, which allows the router to communicate with multiple devices simultaneously, increasing overall network efficiency.

A router that transmits on two frequency bands, usually 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. This provides greater flexibility and performance as the 5 GHz band is usually less congested and offers faster speeds, while the 2.4 GHz band has better range but can be slower due to interference.

Wi-Fi Protected Setup is a mechanism that makes it easier to connect new devices to secure WiFi networks. It allows users to easily connect to the network without having to enter a complex password. However, it is known to have several security weaknesses.

WPA-PSK is a variant of WPA that allows you to protect your wireless network using a pre-shared password. This password is shared between all devices that have access to the Wi-Fi network. WPA-PSK provides a basic level of security by encrypting communication between devices and accessing the network with a password. While it's not the strongest form of security, it's still an important step in ensuring that your wireless network is protected from unauthorized access.

WPA2-PSK is a modern and strong way to secure a wireless network using a pre-shared password. This password is used for authentication and data encryption between devices connected to the network. WPA2-PSK offers a higher level of security compared to the previous WPA-PSK standard, which means it is much more difficult for unauthorized people to gain access to your wireless network. This type of security is suitable for home and small business networks, ensuring that your data and connections remain safe from potential threats.

A higher level of WiFi security suitable for enterprise networks. Instead of a single shared password, it requires an individual username and password for each user, often in combination with a certificate or other form of authentication.

WPA2-Enterprise is a highly secure protocol for securing wireless networks that is widely used, especially in corporate environments. This standard provides a significantly higher level of security compared to WPA2-PSK, thanks to complex authentication methods that require individual credentials for each user. Each user must have their own certificate, token or other form of authentication factor, ensuring that only authorized individuals can access the network.

A standard cable used to connect computers and other devices to local networks. It is essential for establishing a wired connection between devices and can offer a more stable and faster connection than wireless networks.
