Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for Wi-Fi routers and switching are described. An apparatus for wireless communication in a Wi-Fi network may include a set of radio frequency (RF) switches, where a first RF switch provides a connection for a set of RF signal paths to a processor of the apparatus and a second RF switch provides a connection for the set of RF signal paths to an antenna of the apparatus. The set of RF signal paths may include a combination of one or more highpass signal paths, lowpass signal paths, bandpass signal paths, or passthrough signal paths. The apparatus may determine a set of Wi-Fi channels for the wireless communication with one or more wireless devices of the Wi-Fi network, select at least one RF signal path to pass at least one Wi-Fi channel, and process the wireless communication using the at least one RF signal path.
