BSS Coloring increases connection efficiency
WiFi 6 includes a new feature called BSS Coloring that improves WiFi connection efficiency even in crowded environments. When two neighboring routers send traffic on the same channel, your router must wait until the channel is free. With BSS Coloring, your WiFi 6 router identifies your data with a unique channel label ("color") that is different from neighboring networks. Your WiFi 6 router can ignore signals of other colors on the channel and send data immediately.* This greatly reduces router wait times and increases network efficiency.
