About the Router
Living in an era where wireless technology is of key importance and with the
introduction of fibre network, people are bombarded with different router
alternatives that aim to give the best. One has to find a router that accommodates
not only to the consistent growth in wireless devices one has at home but also to
meet the fast and reliable performance of a fibre optic cable connection. One of
the major challenges a router should be able to support is not only to distribute the
internet connection to a variety of devices but also to provide a seamless
connectivity with an exceptional Wi-Fi speed to match as well as excellent
coverage that will allow one to roam around their premises without getting
disconnected. And not forgetting to provide a gateway to the fibre network. With
careful consideration to these ever growing needs, Aztech developed the AIR-706P,
a Dual Band Wireless-AC 1900Mbps Gigabit Router, a device that equips your home
further with wireless flexibility, offers extreme wireless transfers rates and an ultimate
wireless performance and designed to cater for Fibre-to-the-Home(FTTH)
technology.

concurrent dual band wireless feature which enables its users to use (1) the
2.4GHz frequency band that provides wireless speeds of up to 600Mbps
(Turbo QAM), and / or (2) the faster 5.0GHz frequency band which offers
astounding wireless speeds of up to 1300Mbps - simultaneously. It also
supports IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wireless standard (Up to 1900Mbps).

devices.
Each port in the router can be used for different connections. For example:
Ethernet 1 – Set-top Box
Ethernet 2 – Game Console
Ethernet 3 – Desktop Computer
Ethernet 4 – Dad’s Computer
Ethernet WAN – ONT
To create a network diagram:
For wireless devices, identify the wireless devices you want to include in the
network
For wired devices, identify which router port you want to use for each device.
