A frequency band exclusive to gamers

After talking about the outside, let's talk about the hard power of this router.

In terms of configuration, it is equipped with a Qualcomm IPQ6010 processor, and the chip computing power has reached 16560DMIPS, which is a fairly high level in the industry at present, which means that its data throughput per unit time is large enough not to cause data blockage due to high-frequency CPU occupation, thus avoiding packet loss problems.

Let's look at the specific signal strength and network speed tests. Because in the public area of the office, the network environment is very complex, and more than a dozen WiFi signals can be searched everywhere, and the interference between each other is very large. In the case of a straight-line distance of about 3 meters from the Jingdong Cloud Wireless Treasure AX6600 Athena router and no occlusion, the signal strength of the JDCwifi I connected can reach -29dBm (the closer to the 0 signal, the better), Xiaobian has connected and tested a number of other WiFi signals at similar distances, and its signal strength is still the best.

The currently connected JDCwifi in the figure is from JD Cloud Wireless Treasure AX6600 Athena, and it can be seen that its signal is the best

As for the effect of WiFi through the wall, we all know that the signal will attenuate through the wall, and through monitoring, we can see that Jingdong Yun wireless treasure AX6600 Athena can still achieve -63dBm signal strength even if the straight line distance is more than 15 meters and two walls apart, brushing a vibrato has no pressure, and the techmiao signal from the networkware AX6600 is reduced to -70dBm.

In terms of network speed, the 300Mbps broadband I use should be close to most home network bandwidth. According to multiple tests, the download speed can be stabilized in the range of 290~300Mbps, and the upload speed is also above 30Mbps. This achievement, in such a complex network environment, is very good.

In addition, the general router is 2.4G + 5G two frequency bands, and Jingdong Cloud Wireless Treasure AX6600 Athena in the original 2.4G band (rate 574Mbps) and 5.8G band (rate 1201Mbps), added a SmartGaming game exclusive 5.2G band (rate 4804Mbps), which is also the current high-end router function.

We know that the 2.4G band has a good effect on the wall, so it is more suitable for smart homes and other devices, while the 5G band is more suitable for scenarios that require high-load data transmission, such as watching videos and downloading large files. The game band, as the name suggests, is a priority channel designed for esports enthusiasts, which supports 4×4 160MHz high-frequency bands, which is more in line with the needs of high-speed and low-latency gaming.

According to the test, when connecting the 2.4G band, "Glory of the King" was delayed by 59ms, which was rated as good, and when switching to the Gaming band, the delay was directly reduced to 8ms, and the effect was immediate.

Switch from the 2.4G band to the game-specific band, game latency comparison

I have carried out many game tests, even if it is a high-intensity team battle, it can maintain a delay of less than 60ms throughout the whole process, character movement, skill release, etc. are immediately responsive, there will be no delay, such a "bad" wireless environment as our office, it was difficult to achieve in the past.

High-intensity team battles have minimal delays

Through data testing and actual hand experience, we can find that after connecting to the exclusive frequency band of the game, even if other devices are watching HIGH-definition videos or downloading large files, the mobile phone does not need to compete with other devices for the 2.4G and 5.8G frequency bands, and directly uses the exclusive channel of the game, and the priority forwarding of the game packet naturally avoids the game Caton.
