The Hidden Wi-Fi Slowness: Understanding the Mu-MIMO Issue

In today’s digital age, Wi-Fi has become an essential part of our lives, connecting an array of devices from smartphones to computers and smart TVs. Yet, recent research indicates that the slowness you experience may not be due to your internet service provider but rather a hidden flaw in the technology that powers Wi-Fi itself.

Unpacking Wi-Fi Technology

The underlying technology at play is called MU-MIMO, which stands for Multi-User Multiple Input Multiple Output. In simple terms, MU-MIMO enables several devices to utilize the internet simultaneously and more efficiently. One can think of this technology as a busy intersection allowing multiple cars to pass without causing traffic jams.
