There are several advanced Wi-Fi features embedded in your Sunrise Internet
Box that further improve the performance between your Wi-Fi Client and the Internet
Box:
DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection)*: In order to allow access to more channels for
transmission of Wi-Fi signals (i.e. channels 52 to 64 and 100 to 140), your Internet Box
regularly scans frequencies that are also used for other applications, such as weather
radar. These channels are usually less crowded and will allow Wi-Fi clients who support the
same technology to benefit from higher throughput and better coverage.
Beamforming*: In order to reduce Wi-Fi signal interferences (which appear, for example, if
multiple Wi-Fi access points are sending radio signals in near-by locations), your Internet
Box will automatically “steer” the signal towards your Wi-Fi client as it detects where your
Wi-Fi client is located and amplifies the signal of its built-in antennas accordingly.
MU-MIMO (Multi-User- Multiple Input Multiple Output)*: Enables Wi-Fi clients that support
this feature to be served with the maximum amount of available antennas (and bandwidth).
* Feature is only available on 5GHz (802.11ac) band and cannot be changed.
