BEAMFORMING TECHNOLOGY HELPS ELIMINATE DEAD SPOTS
Beamforming focuses the Wi-Fi signal directly to your smartphones, tablets, and laptops instead of sending out a general transmission. The result is a more efficient network with a wider range.
When your device doesn't have to work as hard to receive data, it means not only greater efficiency for you, but also a longer battery life for your connected devices.

- Prioritize devices or websites for video streaming and online gaming
- Control inappropriate or distracting content
- Monitor network activity and speed
