Standard Router

The Standard Router is a high-performance router leveraging the latest Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) technology to deliver robust and scalable connectivity for demanding home environments. It supports dual-band (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) operation, optimizing bandwidth management and reducing congestion across multiple devices. With MU-MIMO and beamforming capabilities, the router efficiently manages high-density traffic, ensuring consistent throughput and minimal latency across both bands.

The router is engineered to provide seamless connectivity for a wide range of applications, from HD/UHD video streaming and online gaming to remote work. It can handle multiple devices simultaneously with high efficiency, thanks to its 2x2 MIMO configuration on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios. This enables better spectral efficiency, increased range, and reduced interference compared to previous generations of Wi-Fi technology.

Additionally, the router supports mesh networking, allowing for expanded coverage when used with compatible mesh satellites, ensuring a reliable, high-speed connection throughout the home.

For easy setup and maintenance, the Standard Router integrates with the GoFibre app for remote management, troubleshooting, and software updates.

In terms of security, the Standard Router integrates enterprise-grade features including WPA3, firewall protection, and DoS protection to safeguard the network.

With advanced traffic management capabilities such as VLANs, QoS, and IGMP snooping, the router prioritizes critical traffic, ensuring high-priority services like VoIP and IPTV are delivered with minimal latency.
