Tri-Band WiFi Connections
This chapter explains how the router manages WiFi connections for its WiFi bands and how you can control the relevant
router settings.
The chapter contains the following sections:
•Tri-Band WiFi on page 56
•Smart Connect on page 59
•Beamforming on page 60

Tri-Band WiFi
Tri-band WiFi delivers combined WiFi speeds of 3.2 Gbps through three dedicated WiFi bands—a 2.4 GHz band
plus two 5 GHz bands.This additional 5 GHz WiFi band allows you to double the WiFi bandwidth for dual-band
devices.
Figure 6.Tri-band WiFi doubles the available bandwidth for dual-band devices
Smart Connect intelligently selects the best WiFi band for each dual-band device to optimize connection speed and
performance based on that device’s speed and performance capabilities.This...

Figure 7. Dual-band WiFi network with one 5 GHz WiFi band
That means that in the network shown, a computer with a 1,300 Mbps capacity provides an effective WiFi connection
speed of 160 Mbps (1300÷ 5), and other devices would also see their WiFi speeds divided by 5.
Tri-band WiFi adds a second 5 GHz WiFi band to the network.This increases the available WiFi bandwidth, which
can be compared to widening the road. In addition to widening the road, using two 5 GHz bands means that the
router has dedicated 5...

In this tri-band network, the first 5 GHz band provides a speed of 200 Mbps, and the second 5 GHz band provides
a speed of 1300 Mbps.
The slower and faster devices are separated in different WiFi connections to ensure that you get the best speed on
each device. So in the previous figure, all three mobile devices are on one 5 GHz band with a combined maximum
speed of 200 Mbps, and the other 5 GHz WiFi band is used for the faster 802.11ac devices with a combined maximum
speed of 1300 Mbps. Effectively both...

With Smart Connect, older devices do not slow down faster devices.
•The router uses load balancing to avoid network congestion in each WiFi band.
With load balancing, you don’t need to share your WiFi connection with as many devices.
Smart Connect
Smart Connect balances your 5 GHz WiFi connections into two different radio bands: the 5 GHz radio 1 band and
the 5 GHz radio 2 band.The router uses Smart Connect to choose the best radio band for your device to give you
the best WiFi performance.
