How to choose a 5G wi-fi router
Thanks to 5G, a real alternative to traditional home fiber broadband is beginning to emerge.
The next-generation mobile network, known as 5G, isn't
just a super-fast way to connect from your smartphone. It is also seen as a
valid way to connect to the Internet from your home, not just on the go.techqueer
To connect to 5G home broadband , you will need a 5G
router . Here is a rundown of the current 5G router market including the few
models available at the moment.digitalknowledgetoday
What is a 5G routers?
A 5G router is a plug-in devices that allows you to
access home broadband using a 5G signal instead of the telephone wiring that
comes into your home.
With real-world download speeds of between 100 and 250
Mbps, 5G home broadband is already faster than standard fiber broadband, if
available. With speed spikes in excess of 1.5Gbps at some points, it could even
compete with premium full fiber broadband.healthnutritionhints
The 5G also benefits from lower latency than the 4G,
which should, in time, make it responsive online experience similar to fixed
broadband. In current real-world terms, you can expect a 35ms ping, which falls
between a decent home broadband connection (10-20ms) and a 4G broadband
connection (50ms)
But perhaps the main benefit of using a 5G router right
now is how quick and easy they are to set up - you can do everything yourself,
without the need for technicians to come home to install.smartdiethealth
The best 5G router
Given the relatively new nature of 5G broadbands , there
aren't many options for 5G routers on the market. In fact, the three 5G
broadband providers in Italy (TIM, Vodafone and WindTre) do not yet offer
alternatives in their price lists or on loan for use.healthfitnesschampion
I will update this post as more 5G router options are
available on the market.
Huawei 5G CPE Pro is known to be the first home fixed 5G
router, allowing up to 64 devices to connect online simultaneously over a range
of 100 meters and also features two Gigabit Ethernet ports , useful for console
gaming and PC. It also offers support for download speed of up to 2,330 Mbps,
which is clearly not possible at the moment. But 5G is expected to get faster
over time, and Huawei 5G CPE Pro will be ready when networks actually support
these speeds.
Portable alternatives
The choice of alternative 5G routers is extremely limited
at least at the moment. There are a couple of cool options if you want to be
more flexible or mobile with your 5G broadband connectivity.
