There’s nothing new about the Amazon eero PoE 6 other than it’s from a company that, before this, only made wireless mesh systems. It’s the first eero Wi-Fi broadcaster that’s all about wiring. As a standard dual-band Wi-Fi 6 PoE access point, this new hardware will work with any router. …
At $290, Ubiquiti’s U6 Enterprise is easily one of the best Wi-Fi 6E access points (APs) you can get. As the name suggests, this is a serious business AP designed to work with a UniFi controller, like the UDR or UDM. But it can also work as a standalone access …
Some two years after the release of the RP-AX56U range extender, ASUS finally made available the better version, the RT-AX58U. This brief take will compare the two and help you decide which to get. But if you are in a hurry, the RP-AX58U is an easy pick, considering it comes …
The new EnGenius ECW336 Cloud Managed Access Point, released late last year, is easily one of the most expensive APs on the market. Its $850 launch price makes the previous $600 ECW230 seem affordable. Since then, its street cost has come down, but it’s still prohibitively expensive to those wanting …
This Omada EAP670 vs. EAP610 matchup represents the top and bottom tiers of TP-Link’s Wi-Fi 6 business access points (APs). They replace the EAP245 and other Wi-Fi Wi-Fi 5 variants. The EAP670 is a top-tier broadcaster, and the EAP610 is entry-level. Other than the differences in hardware specs and physical …
Zyxel NWA220AX-6E is one of a kind, not necessarily in a good way. On the one hand, it’s an affordable well-performing PoE access point that can work as a standalone unit or part of Zyxel’s cloud-based Nebula mesh system—you’d need to register an account and log in with the vendor. …
Generally, I’m not a fan of Wi-Fi extenders, and, on the one hand, the TP-Link RE715X AX3000 Mesh WiFi 6 Extender embodies everything I don’t like about this type of “quick fix” Wi-Fi broadcaster. On the other, it has a couple of things going for itself, namely the support for …
The new ARRIS SURFboard W6U Wi-Fi 6E Network Upgrade Kit is essentially a Wi-Fi 6E access point. But it’s not like any other access point I’ve worked with. Specifically, unlike the recently reviewed NETGEAR WAX630E, the Arris W6U does not support Wi-Fi 6 and older Wi-Fi standards. In other words, …
The TRENDnet TEW-921DAP AX1800 dual-band Wi-Fi 6 PoE+ access point is an expensive version of the entry-level NETGEAR WAX214. It has more to offer and costs almost double at around $150. Neither will give you much to brag about in performance; both are modest hardware. As wireless access points, they …
The WAX630E is NETGEAR’s first tri-band Wi-Fi 6E business-class access point. And it can be a viable alternative to the company’s quad-band Orbi RBKE960 series, especially in terms of cost. Dubbed as a “Wi-Fi 6 Release 2” device by NETGEAR—a naming reminiscent of the WAVE 2 in Wi-Fi 5—the WAX630E’s …
