In most of our homes we have a Wi-Fi 5 router that is compatible with the 802.11ac standard. In 2022 things will change and every time we will have more Wi-Fi 6 routers compatible with the 802.11ax standard in our homes. Thanks to this standard, achieving speeds over Wi-Fi at a speed higher than 1Gbps is already possible. Our protagonist today is a high-end router from a renowned brand such as Linksys. In this article we are going to talk about the launch of the Linksys Hydra Pro 6 (MR5500), a high quality Wi-Fi 6 AX5400 router with which we can achieve high speeds via Wi-Fi.
For several years we have talked about the Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) standard as the future of Wi-Fi but today we can already consider it the present and a reality.
