6. Operazzjoni

Once the COMFAST AX3000 is successfully installed and powered on, it will broadcast Wi-Fi signals on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. You can connect your wireless devices (smartphones, laptops, tablets, etc.) to the network by selecting the appropriate Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and entering the password.

6.1. Konnessjoni man-Netwerk Wi-Fi

1. On your wireless device, open the Wi-Fi settings.
2. Skennja għal netwerks disponibbli.
3. Select the SSID broadcasted by the COMFAST AX3000 (e.g., "COMFAST_XXXX").
4. Enter the Wi-Fi password (if configured).
5. L-apparat tiegħek issa għandu jkun imqabbad man-netwerk Wi-Fi.

6.2. Roaming bla xkiel

The COMFAST AX3000 supports seamless roaming, allowing your devices to automatically switch between multiple AP signals without interruption as you move throughout the coverage area. This ensures a smooth and consistent internet experience.

7. Network Configuration and Management

The COMFAST AX3000 can be managed via a web-based interface, often in conjunction with an AC gateway router for centralized control in commercial scenarios.

7.1. Aċċess għall- Web Interface tal-Ġestjoni

Typically, you can access the AP's management interface by connecting a computer to the AP's LAN port (or a network connected to the AP) and entering its default IP address into a web browser. Refer to the AC gateway router's manual for specific instructions on managing the APs in a larger network setup.

8. Advanced WiFi 6 Features

The COMFAST AX3000 leverages advanced WiFi 6 technologies to enhance network performance and efficiency.

8.1. OFDMA and MU-MIMO

The combination of OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access) and MU-MIMO (Multi-User, Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output) technology significantly improves user internet experience in multi-user network scenarios. OFDMA allows multiple simultaneous users to be served at once per frame of data, reducing latency and improving overall network efficiency compared to older Wi-Fi standards where only one user could be served at a time.

Figure: Illustration comparing OFDMA efficiency in Wi-Fi 6 (multiple users simultaneously) versus Wi-Fi 5 (one user at a time).

8.2. TWT Technology (Target Wake Time)

TWT technology unifies the scheduling of wireless terminal dormancy and data transmission time. This improves the disordered competition of multiple devices for the channel and groups wireless terminals into different TWT cycles, significantly improving the battery life of connected equipment.

8.3. Automatic Radio Frequency Optimization

The AP automatically calculates the neighbor relationship between APs in the network and adjusts wireless transmission power and channel based on real-time interference and load of nearby devices. This ensures stable and efficient network operation by reducing mutual interference.
