What is the 4K QAM technology of the Xiaomi Router BE3600?

The Xiaomi Router BE3600 supports 4K QAM technology, which increases data throughput, upping the amount of data transmitted at a time to 120% when used with devices that support 4K QAM, for a Wi-Fi experience that is faster than ever.
For your reference, here’s more information about the 4K QAM technology:
1. 4K QAM stands for 4096 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation, a high-level modulation technique that encodes data using both amplitude and phase variations. The 4K refers to the 4096 different signal combinations that can be used to represent data;
2. With 4096 distinct symbols, 4K QAM allows for the transmission of more bits per symbol compared to lower QAM levels (such as 256 QAM or 1024 QAM). This effectively increases the throughput without needing additional bandwidth;
3. When paired with devices that also support 4K QAM, the data throughput can increase by up to 120% compared to traditional 1024 QAM, offering faster speeds for high-bandwidth activities like streaming, gaming, and large file transfers;
4. To fully benefit from 4K QAM, both the router and connected devices must support this technology. Devices with 4K QAM compatibility can experience faster download and upload speeds over Wi-Fi networks, making activities like 4K video streaming and online gaming smoother.
Note:
Actual speeds can vary depending on devices and environment.
