Multi-Link Operation (MLO) allows the router to transmit data across both bands simultaneously, reducing latency and improving reliability compared to older Wi-Fi standards. 4K-QAM modulation packs 20% more data per transmission cycle than Wi-Fi 6's 1K-QAM, making a practical difference for households running several devices at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWired connections that keep pace with fast broadband:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo 2.5 Gbps Ethernet ports - one WAN and one LAN - mean wired devices are no longer limited to the 1 Gbps ceiling of standard ports.
