WiFi 6 BSS Coloring Setting
Is it possible to configure the BSS Color code in the router or it just assign one randomly?
BSS Color, as an identifier, can mark each frame and tell routers/ APs/ clients which data packets are coming from neighboring networks and ignore them.
- Only the right data is received. Co-channel interference is minimized between BSSs so they can transmit in sync.
- Clients in the same BSS share the same color, so they need to communicate in turn with the AP.
- BSS Coloring makes it possible for different BSSs to share the same channel, greatly boosting channel capacity.
