Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA)

Using the OFDMA1 feature of WiFi 6, the WiFi trafc is managed much more efciently since data is transmitted from different

devices concurrently, rather than having each device’s data wait for its turn. This results in an efcient use of air-time, reduced latency,

and increased bandwidth to add more devices to your network.

Ultra-powerful AX-optimized Quad-core Processor

The Nighthawk WiFi 6 Mesh System is powered by a 1.5GHz quad-core processor, is built for performance at an ultimate level.
The ultra-fast processor enables the router to seamlessly handle data intensive applications such as 4K UHD video streaming, VR/AR
gaming, as well as provide a stronger, more reliable WiFi experience. This powerful processor is optimized for AX making intelligent

spontaneous decisions to schedule data trafc to maximize WiFi Bandwidth utilization.
