Less Interference
Reduce the Interference from Your Neighbours’ WiFi
Interference from nearby wireless networks may cause issues with your signal, especially when you live in an apartment or close to your Neighbours. MR85X supports BSS Colouring to mark the data frames from different APs. This helps minimise the signal interference from your Neighbours to improve transmission efficiency. (Maximum wireless signal rates are the physical rates derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Actual wireless data throughput, wireless coverage, and number of connected devices are not guaranteed and will vary as a result of network conditions, client limitations, and environmental factors, including building materials, obstacles, volume and density of traffic, and client location. feature availability may be required.)
- BSS Colouring Working - Less Signal Interference
- Without BSS Colouring - More Signal Interference
Energy Efficient
Eco-Friendly Power Saving
Target Wake Time reduces power consumption for your mobile and IoT devices during data transmissions to extend your devices’ battery life. (Maximum wireless signal rates are the physical rates derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications.

Connect 4x More Devices, All Simultaneously
Streaming or gaming on multiple devices brings more fun without dragging down performance. MR85X supports OFDMA and MU-MIMO (Maximum wireless signal rates are the physical rates derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Actual wireless data throughput, wireless coverage, and number of connected devices are not guaranteed and will vary as a result of network conditions, client limitations, and environmental factors, including building materials, obstacles, volume and density of traffic, and client location. feature availability may be required.) to power up your WiFi by allowing multiple clients to transmit at the same time. This delivers 4x greater network capacity and efficiency in traffic-dense environments. (The 802.11ax white paper defines Standardised modifications to both the IEEE 802.11 physical layers (PHY) and the IEEE 802.11 Medium Access Control (MAC) layer as enabling at least one mode of operation capable of supporting improvement of at least four times the average throughput per station (measured at the MAC data service access point) in a dense deployment scenario. △Use of WPA3 requires clients to also support WPA3.)
