Given the generalization of WiFi 6 among the rest of the operators, Movistar has had to make a move and put this new router on the market, which will act as a bridge until the XGSPON is standardized and the xHGU arrives.

In case of being one of the first owners of one of the units of this MitraStar GPT-2841GX4X5 that Movistar is beginning to distribute, the steps for self-installation are simple, since inside we have the ONT (Optic Node Terminal, Optical Node Terminal), as in the HGU model, so it is not necessary to have additional equipment to browse the Internet.

With this new WiFi 6 router you will have a speed up to 3.5 times higher and with 20% more coverage than the current Smart WiFi Router (the HGU). That was mounted in a horizontal position, while the new router is placed in a vertical design designed to make the most of the WiFi features of its 9 internal antennas (5 for 5 GHz WiFi and 4 for 2.4 GHz WiFi). LED status lights have been reduced in size, number, and power to keep the disturbance to a minimum.

The design is consistent with the Hogar Movistar family with a compact size of 22 x 19 x 4 centimeters. You can also add a Smart WiFi 6 Amplifier to your network, a new device that improves home connectivity by increasing the speed and coverage of the WiFi signal by placing it as an Access Point if you want all the wireless devices in your Movistar Home to benefit from the new WiFi 6, or in signal repeater mode to extend the range of your current network.

This device expands up to 30% more coverage, increasing security thanks to the WPA-3 standard. If you would like to add this Amplifier, you just have to connect it to your Smart WiFi Router with the Ethernet cable that we included in the box, turn on the Amplifier and that’s it.
