TP-LINK Talon AD7200

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?

A device that routes data between a local area network (LAN) and larger networks such as the Internet. It can also provide other functions such as a firewall or VPN.

Tri-band routers transmit on three frequency bands - usually two 5 GHz and one 2.4 GHz. These routers can provide more capacity and performance for more devices by effectively splitting devices between different bands.

This is an outdated method of encrypting WiFi networks that uses a 64-bit key. Although it was commonly used in the past, it is now considered insecure due to its ease of breaking.

Like its 64-bit version, this protocol provides slightly stronger security due to a longer encryption key, but is just as vulnerable and is not recommended for use in modern networks.

WPA is wireless network security that provides protection for your Wi-Fi connection. This technology uses encryption and authentication to secure your network from unauthorized access. WPA is an important element in ensuring the security of your home or business Wi-Fi network, protecting your data and communications from potential threats.

WPA2 is an advanced standard for securing wireless networks that offers a higher level of security than the previous WPA standard. This technology uses strong encryption and authentication to protect your Wi-Fi connection from unauthorized access. WPA2 is one of the most secure ways to ensure that your home or business wireless network is protected from threats and secure for your devices and data. Using WPA2 is important for keeping your wireless connection secure and protecting your online activity.

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.

The IPv6 Ready designation indicates that a network device or technology is ready to implement IPv6. Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is the latest version of the Internet Protocol, which was specifically designed to overcome the address space limitations of the older IPv4 protocol. Due to the exponential growth in the number of devices connected to the Internet and the need to ensure their unique addressability, IPv6 offers an almost unlimited number of unique IP addresses.

The Virtual Server feature on network devices allows you to redirect communication ports from the Internet to specific devices on your local network. This feature is often used for remote access to home, web or game servers or other services that require access from an external network. Virtual Server contributes to security by allowing detailed control over what devices and services are accessible from the Internet.

A VPN, or virtual private network, is a technology that allows secure connections between remote computers or networks over the public internet. VPN functionality on network devices allows encrypted and secure data transmission, protects users from eavesdropping and ensures privacy. VPN is key for remote working, secure access to corporate networks and protection when using public Wi-Fi networks.

QoS, or quality of service, is a feature of network devices that allows network traffic to be prioritized according to the type of service, application, or device. This ensures that important applications such as VoIP (a technology that allows you to make voice calls using a broadband Internet connection instead of traditional or analog phone lines) or online gaming have enough bandwidth and low latency to run smoothly. QoS is key to optimizing network performance, especially in high network load environments.

Port Triggering is a more advanced and dynamic method than traditional Port Forwarding, which allows temporary opening of ports based on specific traffic generated from the local network. Unlike Port Forwarding, which requires ports to be open at all times and thus can pose a security risk, Port Triggering opens ports only when needed and closes them automatically when activity ceases. This method is suitable for applications that require incoming connections after initiating communication from the local network, but do not require constant access from the external Internet. Port Triggering is ideal for intermittent communication needs such as some online games, video conferencing, or VoIP applications where dynamic access management and enhanced security are important.

UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) is a set of network protocols that allows devices on a local network to automatically discover and communicate with each other without the need for manual setup by the user. This technology is designed to simplify connectivity and communication between different devices in a home or small office network.

A DHCP server is a device or software that manages and distributes IP addresses on a local network. When a new device connects to the network, the DHCP server automatically assigns it an available IP address from a defined range.

A DHCP client is a device that, when connected to the network, asks the DHCP server to assign an IP address. Most modern devices, including computers, smartphones and tablets, have a built-in DHCP client function.

A list of all devices on the network that have been assigned IP addresses by the DHCP server. Allows the network administrator to see what devices are currently connected to the network and what IP addresses have been assigned to them.

A feature in DHCP that allows a network administrator to reserve a specific IP address for a specific device. This means that the device will always be assigned the same IP address every time it connects to the network.

DynDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) is a service that automatically updates DNS records when the IP address of a device (such as a home router) changes. This is useful for remote access to devices that have dynamically changing IP addresses.

NO-IP is a dynamic DNS provider, which allows users to create domain names that point to dynamic IP addresses. This service is particularly useful for remote access to devices or servers that do not have a fixed IP address, as their domain name is automatically updated when the IP address changes.

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.
