This allows the user to attach both network adapters to a single network. Another major advantage is that of Load Balancing. In addition, there is zero packet delay with two high-speed gigabit networks, giving super high data transmission efficiency.
Two network cards can be simultaneously transmitted to upload and download at the same time. It also allows for Full-duplex transmission. The primary advantage is the doubling of bandwidth which allows the network bandwidth of 1G to become that of 2G. To achieve this, the Hi-Fi Z97WE has dual Gigabit LAN connections on the board that allow simultaneous LAN connections. The Hi-Fi Z97WE also features BIOSTAR's dual Gigabit LAN card functionality that takes networking and gaming to new levels. All the BIOSTAR Hi-Fi series motherboards are equipped with special components to ensure the best possible audio quality consistency. It supports multiple functions for add-in cards, including the Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, satellite navigation, near field communication (NFC), digital radio, Wireless Gigabit Alliance (WiGig), wireless WAN (WWAN), and solid-state drives (SSDs).īut being a BIOSTAR board, there is a premium set of features including the company's new "Hi-Fi" technology.
