　This product is a Wi-Fi repeater that supports 4 streams (2 x 2 + 2 x 2) of the high-speed Wi-Fi standard Wi-Fi 6. By connecting to a wireless LAN router that acts as a master unit, even in places away from routers where radio waves are difficult to reach, more comfortable communication becomes possible.

5GHz band supports communication up to 1201Mbps and 2.4GHz band up to 573Mbps (both theoretical values). In addition, it supports "beam forming technology" that improves communication speed and stability for Wi-Fi 6 compatible terminals, allowing stable connection to smartphones that move indoors.

　Since the Wi-Fi repeater to be released this time takes over the settings of the existing Wi-Fi router, there is no need to change the settings of Wi-Fi compatible devices such as smartphones, tablets, and PCs that have been used until now. , Easy setting is possible just by pressing the WPS button. If the device supports WPS, it can be used in combination with other companies' products.

　It also has a Giga-compatible wired LAN terminal, and by connecting to devices that do not support wireless LAN, such as TVs, recorders, and tuners, it can also be used as an Ethernet converter that enables high-speed wireless with Wi-Fi 6. Available.

　In addition, with the external antenna model WEX-1800AXEA, by tilting the antenna forward, backward, left and right, it is possible to customize the radio waves according to the installation environment and optimize the communication environment.
