Buffalo announced two series Wi-Fi 6 routers, among it the "WSR-5400AX6S" compatible with the mesh network standard "Wi-Fi Easy Mesh".

Currently, there are two ways to expand the radio wave of wireless LAN, one is to use a repeater and the other is to use the original mesh function of each manufacturer. However, in the former case, the route between the master unit and the repeater may not be optimized depending on the situation, or the terminal may not be connected to an appropriate connection destination. In the latter case, there are many restrictions such as not being able to operate between different manufacturers and not being compatible with the mesh environment using a wired LAN.

"Wi-Fi EasyMesh" eliminates the drawbacks of repeaters and original meshes. Also, the settings have been simplified.
"Wi-Fi Easy Mesh" was introduced to solve this problem. With this function, the base unit automatically selects the optimum communication route for relay, and high-speed roaming enables seamless optimum connection. In addition, it also supports mesh connection via wired LAN, enabling stable communication even in reinforced concrete and remote locations.
