This is MU-MIMO
FRITZ!WLAN AC 430 MU-MIMO sup-
ports MU-MIMO (Multi-User MIMO) and
can be used with any wireless internet
routers, but provides its full spectrum
of performance especially when used
in combination with wireless internet
routers that support MU-MIMO.
MU-MIMO is a technology for the
parallel use of multiple data streams
in wireless radio connections, and
serves to increase the aggregate
throughputs in a wireless LAN cell.
To achieve signifi cant improvements
in data transmission, the participat-
ing wireless devices must support
MU-MIMO in both the send and the
receive direction. Yet even wireless
devices compliant with older stan-
dards that support only single-user
MIMO technology will benefi t, as more
airtime is available in these "mixed
environments".
MU-MIMO is currently enabled only in
the downstream direction, that is for
data transfer from the wireless inter-
net router to the wireless device(s),
and works only in the close vicinity of
the wireless internet router.

Wireless LAN Connections
You can establish wireless LAN con-
nections in two simple ways.
AVM Stick & Surf
Stick & Surf is especially simple
and secure. With Stick & Surf the
FRITZ!WLAN AC 430 MU-MIMO adopts
the security settings of a FRITZ!Box
and automatically establishes a
secure wireless LAN connection.

"Establishing a Wireless Connection
with Stick & Surf auf Seite 7.
WPS Quick Connection
The FRITZ!WLAN AC 430 MU-MIMO can
be connected with the wireless router
via WPS. WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)
is a fast and simple way to establish a
secure connection between wireless
LAN devices. WPS is supported by
all current FRITZ!Box models with
wireless LAN and by many wireless
routers from other manufacturers.
See the documentation for your wire-
less router.
