4.1 Koppel toestelle

• Wi-Fi-verbinding: On your wireless device (smartphone, laptop, tablet), search for available Wi-Fi networks. Select the SSID you configured during setup (e.g., "MyHomeWiFi_2.4G" or "MyHomeWiFi_5G") and enter the Wi-Fi password.
• Bedrade verbinding: Connect devices such as desktop computers, gaming consoles, or smart TVs to the router's yellow LAN ports using Ethernet cables for a stable and high-speed connection.

4.2 Dual-Band Operation (2.4GHz and 5GHz)

Figure 4.2.1: Dual-Band Wi-Fi Capabilities
Shows the 2.4GHz band (up to 300Mbps) for wider coverage and better penetration, and the 5GHz band (up to 867Mbps) for faster speeds and less interference, ideal for streaming and gaming.

The LV-AC22 router operates on two distinct Wi-Fi bands:

• 2.4 GHz band: Provides wider coverage and better penetration through walls and obstacles. Ideal for general internet use like browsing, email, and connecting older devices. Max speed 300Mbps.
• 5 GHz band: Offers faster speeds and less interference, making it suitable for bandwidth-intensive activities such as online gaming, HD video streaming, and large file transfers. Max speed 867Mbps.

You can connect your devices to either band based on your needs and device compatibility.

4.3 MU-MIMO-tegnologie

Figure 4.3.1: Router Features Overview
This image highlights the router's key specifications including 1200Mbps total speed, 4 antennas, Gigabit ports, and the inclusion of MU-MIMO technology.
