Wi-Fi 6 is the new Wi-Fi generation, also known as Wi-Fi 802.11 ax. including improvements compared to previous versions. The new Internet Box uses Wi-Fi 6.

Compared to Wi-Fi 5, Wi-Fi 6 has several advantages:

• Wi-Fi 6 is faster: Up to 40% faster than wi-Fi 5.
• Wi-Fi 6 is stable when more devices are connected at the same time. For example: watching YouTube, making video calls, online gaming is stable and fluent with Wi-Fi 6, without buffering or interruptions.
• Wi-Fi 6 decreases your energy consumption. It automatically puts connected Wi-Fi 6 devices in “sleeping mode” when no internet signals are sent. This has a positive impact on the battery life of your devices and your energy bill.
• Wi-Fi 6 is more secure. Thanks to WPA3 (Wi-Fi protected Access 3), your Wi-Fi network is better protected, even when non-complex passwords are used.

If you experience poor coverage or slow Wi-Fi, you can improve the quality of your network! Some easy tips and tricks will help you get the most out of your Wi-Fi at home.

Our new Internet Box has Wi-Fi 6 and is included in our Flex pack combinations with superior internet experience.

Yes, all your existing devices will continue to work even if you have a new Internet with Wi-Fi 6. However, to fully benefit from the Wi-Fi 6 advantages, your device must support Wi-Fi 6.

Many Wi-Fi6 ready devices are already on the the market. To check if a device support Wi-Fi6, look in the product specifications for Wi-fi6 or ‘AX’.

Smart Wi-Fi monitors your Wi-Fi experience remotely and suggests by means of the MyProximus app pro-active actions to improve your Wi-Fi experience, for example by providing tools to optimise Wi-Fi Boosters placement or by suggesting to add supplementary Wi-Fi boosters for a better coverage.

In addition, Smart Wi-Fi manages all your connections and automatically adapts to provide you with the best Wi-Fi coverage at the office:

• for optimal speed, without interruptions, when surfing on different devices
• for a stable connection even when you move from room to room

This is possible thanks to a smart usage of both available Wi-Fi frequency ranges (2.4 GHZ and 5 GHZ) in function of your device capabilities, the bandwidth needs of the device and the usage of other devices.

And thanks to a seamless connection between your b-box/Internet Box and your Wi-Fi boosters.

All new Proximus customers benefit from this “Smart-Wi-Fi” service without the need to “activate” anything manually.

Existing customers can easily activate Smart Wi-Fi through the MyProximus app without any cost.

Thanks to the Mesh technology, Wi-Fi boosters communicate with each other and give your whole office seamless Wi-Fi coverage, without loss of speed.

In function of usage of the network (number of devices, bandwidth need, etc.), in a mesh network, the way the different access points interoperate changes dynamically to always guarantee the best usage experience as possible.

Wi-Fi Mesh is only supported by our new Internet Box and Wi-Fi boosters.
