Since today’s routers have security enabled out of the box, users don’t have to worry about configuring it. “You always hear about data theft, and it’s so easy to enable security these days,” he says. The solution: Kalle stresses the importance of router encryption. In contrast, more-robust devices generally have hardware specifically designed for WPA and WPA2 encryption as a result, the stronger security protocols shouldn’t slow Wi-Fi speeds on higher-end routers. On inexpensive routers that use WEP, upgrading to WPA may impede performance a bit. In recent years, the WPA (Wireless Protected Access) and WPA2 protocols have displaced the older and less-secure WEP (Wireless Encryption Protocol). However, that doesn’t mean you should turn off security completely, or downgrade to weaker protection. In some low-end routers, a stronger security setting can moderately affect performance. After all, you can’t control the weather, and it’s unwise to be antisocial just to get better Wi-Fi performance. Don’t worry about humidity, or those bags of water called people. And “600” refers to two bands, each transmitting at 300 megabits per second. MIMO (multiple input, multiple output) technology provides greater range by using multiple antennas to transmit and receive data. The “N” refers to 802.11n, an international Wi-Fi standard approved in 2009. ![]() When you’re shopping for a new router, look for a dual-band, 802.11n MIMO device, which typically has an “N600” label. “You won’t get any benefit from the 5GHz mode,” says Kalle. Some older dual-band routers allow only one band at a time that’s a problem if you have older Wi-Fi devices (as most people do), because you’ll have to leave your router at 2.4GHz. It’s important to get a router that supports simultaneous 2.4GHz and 5GHz, such as the $100 Cisco Linksys E2500. They can take advantage of that empty highway, and that’s really going to help,” Kalle says. Newer Wi-Fi devices, including tablets such as the Apple iPad and Motorola Xoom, Internet-ready TVs with built-in Wi-Fi, gaming consoles, and business laptops, are all dual-band. While the 2.4GHz band is necessary for supporting older Wi-Fi devices, 5GHz “is almost like an 11-lane highway that nobody’s heard about yet,” Kalle says. The mapping on this website is provided by external mapping providers and is for general information purposes only.The solution: Buy a dual-band router that operates simultaneously at 2.4GHz and 5GHz. CO2 and fuel economy figures may vary according to factors such as driving styles, environmental conditions, load, wheel fitment and accessories. The figures provided are manufacturer’s estimates and will be replaced with the official EU test figures as soon as they are available. Range figures are based upon production vehicle over a standardised route. CO2, fuel economy, energy consumption and range figures may vary according to factors such as driving styles, environmental conditions, load, wheel fitment, accessories fitted, actual route and battery condition. ‡The figures provided are as a result of official manufacturer's tests in accordance with EU legislation with a fully charged battery. The highest figures refer to the least economical/heaviest set of options. The lowest figures refer to the most economical/lightest set of options.

Jaguar Land Rover Limited is constantly seeking ways to improve the specification, design and production of its vehicles, parts and accessories and alterations take place continually, and we reserve the right to change without notice. Please consult your Retailer who will be able to confirm any current restrictions with you in order to allow an informed choice. This is a very dynamic situation, and as a result imagery used within the website at present may not fully reflect current specifications for features, options, trim and colour schemes. The global shortage of semiconductors is currently affecting vehicle build specifications, option availability, and build timings. Mesh networks can be designed either for home or business use and comes with a variety of node options. These nodes blanket a building in strong, stable WiFi signal cutting out dead spots. Important note on imagery & specification. Mesh networks are WiFi networks made stronger by adding nodes.
