While Honor is gearing up for an upcoming product launch event, the company has also started teasing a few gadgets beforehand. Earlier today (14th May 2020), the Chinese tech giant teased its first Wi-Fi 6 Plus router, named Honor Router 3.
Earlier this year, the Wi-Fi technology saw an advancement in its technology with the new generation of WiFi 6 standards being launched. As of right now, its popularity is already increasing, with most flagship smartphones featuring this technology. Routers and other AIoT products also appeared early on and now it seems that a higher WiFi 6 Plus standard is arriving soon as well.

For those unaware, WiFi 6 brought a lot of improvements over the older generations. It had bandwidth almost three times higher than WiFi 5 and can have nearly 4 times the capacity of concurrently connected devices. Furthermore, its power consumption was also powered by 30 percent while latency also saw a reduction. Unfortunately, it is currently unknown what improvements WiFi 6 Plus brings over the regular WiFi 6, but it is likely to be further improvements on the aforementioned features.
The official Honor Weibo account, a Chinese microblogging website, shared the first poster image for the Honor Router 3. This product will be announced on 18th May 2020, alongside many others like a new laptop, the company’s first 5G and WiFi 6 compliant tablet, and more.
