” We all know the frustration of slowing down or losing the connection, ” notes Min-Liang Tan, co-founder and CEO of Razer. ” Often this is due to a high volume of network traffic or noise generated by WiFi signals in the vicinity. The Razer Sila router actively prioritizes traffic and monitors channel strength by automatically switching between them for a stronger, faster connection whether it’s for gaming, watching Netflix, or just browsing the web. ”
The patented Multi-Channel Zero-Wait DFS technology on the Razer Sila enables clean WiFi channels to avoid network traffic and maintain the highest speed for the most demanding applications without any standby or downtime.
The Razer Sila router is also capable of working in advanced network meshes. Two or more Razer Sila units can be combined to provide full and fast WiFi coverage in areas of up to 550 square feet with two units or multi-storey floors of more than 550 square feet with three units. As a Triple Band router, the Razer Sila includes a dedicated 5 GHz return traffic link and independent transmission to operate on up to 4 simultaneous DFS channels, which further reduces possible network jams and congestion. Verification tests performed by Allion USA show that Razer Sila performance outperforms other mesh routers.
Razer Sila was developed in collaboration with the wireless home networking partner, Ignition Design Labs-a technology and engineering company founded by former employees of network giants Qualcomm and Broadcom. Ignition Design Labs became famous for launching the award-winning WiFi Portal Smart Router in 2016.
