To solve the problem of signal congestion, the Portal Wi-Fi router features patented FastLane technology, which creates four unused data streams on the 5GHz spectrum that are reserved for you and your devices. This highly effective FastLanes feature and its super-simple setup are two of the main reasons the Portal earned an 8.0 rating from our review team and was named one of the best routers on the market today.
Nine powerful internal antennas provide blanket coverage of up to 3,000 square feet, and the portal is Mesh 2.0-compatible in case you want to integrate it into a larger mesh Wi-Fi network. The router utilizes dual-band AC2400 connectivity for a throughput of 2,400 Mbps. MU-MIMO technology allows multiple clients to connect to and use your network without their devices fighting each other for bandwidth, a feature that is particularly important for homes with users who frequently perform data-heavy tasks such as 4K streaming or online gaming.
