Currently WiFI AC home routers support up to 4 parallel flows, to provide high wireless speeds, so if we connect with a client that supports the same number of data, we will take advantage of all the bandwidth that the router offers. But it is worth noting that there are devices that only include a single stream, as well as the case of Smartphones and Tablets. This slows down the wireless network, which hurts faster clients. But, to avoid this we will use MU-MIMO technology.

MU-MIMO, Multi-User Multiple Input Multiple Output, is a technology that is part of the 802.11ac model, and that uses beamforming, a technology that has the function of focusing the signal on wireless clients, in addition, it has the capacity to allow parallel transmissions to clients.

Advantages of using MU-MIMO technology

With MU-MIMO technology, your rauter will be able to send 1 stream of data, to each of the clients, so the data will be sent in parallel and the bandwidth will be used to the maximum. Customers will receive and send data in parallel all three, and not serially as with SU-MIMO.

Not only will it allow you to maximize bandwidth for your clients to achieve maximum speed, but you can also speed up wireless clients transferring their data.

MU-MIMO technology is ideal for those services that work in real time, that is, services such as online games or video conferencing, since it will allow data to be transmitted quickly without having to wait additional time.

We recommend reading the best routers of the moment.

It is highly recommended that when using this technology, both our router and clients must support it, otherwise there will be no improvement. Mixing MU-MIMO with SU-MIMO will not generate good performance, as it would with teams that were also MU-MIMO
