Q7: Does the extender also have MU-MIMO?
COVR1300E (extender) is Wave 2 support solution included MU-MIMO.
Note:
Multi-user, multiple-input, multiple-output technology
Better known as MU-MIMO (Next-Gen AC or AC Wave 2), allows a Wi-Fi router to communicate with multiple
devices simultaneously. This decreases the time each device has to wait for a signal and dramatically speeds up
your network. Considering that the average household has upwards of eight devices battling for bandwidth
simultaneously, MU-MIMO will increasingly improve your Wi-Fi experience.
To use MU-MIMO, you must first have a
router that supports the
technology. Wi-Fi Routers operating on older
standards such as Wireless-A, B, G, and N do not support MU-MIMO, and it's
only a feature in some of the later
Wireless-AC
routers. Your safest bet is to look for a router that explicitly states it supports MU-MIMO, Next-Gen
AC, or AC Wave 2.
