Though very different hardware-wise, the Amazon eero 6 dual-band AX1800 mesh router is, for the most part, just like the eero 6 Pro. It has the same mobile app, setup process, general settings, and feature set. So, it’s just like the original eero that came out some four years ago. …
The Amazon eero Pro 6 tri-band AX4200 mesh Wi-Fi 6 router is an exaggeration. There’s nothing “Pro” about it. It has the least to offer among all (tri-band) Wi-Fi 6 routers I’ve reviewed. So, at best, it’s a router for the uninitiated. And in that regard, this one does have a …
Thinking the recently-announced Linksys Velop MX4200 Tri-Band AX4200 Mesh Wi-Fi 6 System (model MX12600) is an upgrade, or a downgrade, to the Velop Linksys MX5300 (MX10600) that came out at the beginning of 2020? You’re mistaken. It’s neither. Looking past the lengthy, innately confusing name and the familiar design, this …
There are many ways to show off financial success. You can get an expensive painting, don a nice watch, buy that nice guy a coffee every morning, or, better yet, snatch this Orbi Pro Wi-Fi 6 tri-band Mesh System (model SXK80) NETGEAR announced today. Hang it on the wall, and …
You can call the Linksys MR9600 a dual-band version of the Linksys MX5 Velop AX mesh router, and Belkin won’t mind that one bit. Indeed, the networking vendor confirmed with me its intention to include this new Wi-Fi 6 router, as well as future ones, in its Linksys Velop Intelligent …
The 3-pack NETGEAR MK63 Nighthawk Dual-Band AX1800 Wi-Fi 6 Mesh System (or MK62 for a 2-pack) is, for now, a one-of-a-kind mesh system despite the fact it’s supposed to be a universal one. Considering NETGEAR’s other well-known Orbi mesh family, it’s a bit hard for me to find the right …
The Linksys MR7350 Max-Stream Mesh Wi-Fi 6 Router is the budget version of the MR9600. Other than the lesser hardware specs and, therefore, the much lower cost, it’s the same as its big cousin. What’s most significant, it makes official the fact that all new and likely future Linksys routers …
The ZenWiFi AX Mini (model XD4) is ASUS’s third purpose-built AiMesh Wi-Fi system, after the XT8 and CT8, and it turned out to be the most complete one in my testing. So, the third time seems to be the charm, and that’s the good news. The bad is this mesh …
The Deco X60 AX3000 Mesh System, TP-Link’s latest Wi-Fi 6 mesh system, is a great deal or a disappointing choice, depending on how you plan to use it. On the one hand, the new system is super easy to use and has a hardware design that allows you to place it anywhere. On the …
Belkin’s latest Linksys MX10 Velop AX mesh system (model MX10600), which consists of two Linksys MX5300 routers, reminds me of the ASUS RT-AX92U. Both are unconventional Wi-Fi 6 solutions. However, while the ASUS was a bit problematic and buggy in my testing, the MX10 proved to be a solid performer, …
