Beamforming+ also boosts the router signal’s range. This eliminates jitter and ghosting while streaming high-definition videos, a problem that accompanies poor or unstable connections. Beamforming+ focuses the signal directly between the router and the user’s device, leading to a more dependable and steady connection. With other protocols, the wireless signal broadcasts widely around the router. Netgear equipped the AC600 with its Beamforming+ technology, which gives the adapter more direct connections to a router. The 802.11ac standard provides connection speeds up to three times faster than 802.11n, but that increase becomes lost without the technology to support it. One of the top wireless adapters on the market, the Netgear AC600 dual-band Wi-Fi USB mini adapter provides seamless connectivity to networks running both the 802.11ac standard and its predecessor, 802.11n.
The next generation of connectivity, 802.11ac, is here.
