What is Smart WiFi?

On pourrait l’appeler "wifi +" ou "wifi 2.0". Pour faire simple, le Smart Wifi est un wifi amélioré. Parce que, disons-le, aussi merveilleuse soit-elle, cette technologie de réseau sans fil n’est pas toujours des plus fiables... Saturation, interférences et couverture limitée sont autant de problèmes qu'elle peut en effet rencontrer dans un même logement. Ainsi subissez-vous peut-être des faiblesses, voire pire, carrément des coupures intempestives de votre connexion wifi ?

Well, say goodbye to this unfortunate annoyance thanks to Smart WiFi! Although you haven't heard much about it yet, this is not really a novelty, as it is one of the new technologies that the SFR Box 8 has developed. While the SFR Box 8 already has a staggering throughput compared to its predecessors, due to its compatibility with the new Wi-Fi 6 standard, it ends up ensuring performance in all tests by optimizing the connection. That's what we call smart WiFi.

How does it work? At the risk of falling into technical considerations, Smart WiFi is first and foremost based on the function of

Band Steering

(translation: "tape control"). In practical terms, this means that it will look for the frequency band (either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz) that is both best suited to your needs (depending on the equipment used, smartphone or computer), but also the least crowded to avoid interference or saturation. And this is completely automatic and in real time: the Smart WiFi will reposition itself on another band, without you having asked for anything, to offer you an efficient connection, without interruption. Smart, indeed. And you know what? He gets even smarter when we expand his coverage...

If you live in a large area, such as a multi-storey dwelling, you may have realized the limitations of the wireless network. The solution to capture in all rooms is to invest in one or more repeaters. Small boxes that will literally "repeat" the WiFi signal emitted by your box to expand its coverage throughout the house. Good news: the SFR Box 8 has recently acquired such accessories, and their big advantage over Lambdas repeaters is that they are also compatible with "smart WiFi".

In addition to

Band Steering

Another function even comes into play on SFR Smart WiFi repeaters: the access point or AP Steering, which consists of redirecting the connection to the best access point at an instant T. in this case, either the box or the repeater, depending on proximity and again saturation, ensures an optimal connection, at any time and anywhere within the home. You will be able to walk your smartphone or laptop in hand, up and down in your home, and you won't notice any trouble. Definitely very smart, Smart WiFi takes care of everything and you Don't care about anything!
