There are several advanced Wi-Fi features embedded in your Sunrise Internet
Box that further improve the performance between your Wi-Fi Client and the
Internet Box:
DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection)*
: In order to allow access to more channels
for transmission of Wi-Fi signals (i.e. channels 52 to 64 and 100 to 140), your
Internet Box regularly scans frequencies that are also used for other applications,
such as weather radar. These channels are usually less crowded and will allow Wi-
Fi clients who support the same technology to benefit from higher throughput and
better coverage.
Beamforming*
: In order to reduce Wi-Fi signal interferences (which appear, for
example, if multiple Wi-Fi access points are sending radio signals in near-by
locations), your Internet Box will automatically
“
steer
”
the signal towards your Wi-Fi
client as it detects where your Wi-Fi client is located and amplifies the signal of its
built-in antennas accordingly.
MU-MIMO (Multi-User-
Multiple Input Multiple Output
)*
: Enables Wi-Fi clients that
support this feature to be served with the maximum amount of available antennas
(and bandwidth).
* Feature is only available on 5GHz (802.11ac) band and cannot be changed.
