Wi-Fi 6E is the extension of Wi-Fi 6 or 802.11ax, which is the 6th generation of Wi-Fi.
The 2-pack Deco XE75 AXE5400 Tri-Band Mesh Wi-Fi 6E System, also confusingly available as the 3-pack Deco XE5300 variant, is TP-Link’s very first real Wi-Fi 6E solution. Finally. Indeed, the networking vendor made all kinds of buzz about the new standard in early 2021 with nothing to show during the …
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 …
On March 23, 2022, eero, a networking vendor owned by Amazon, released its first Wi-Fi 6E solution, the eero Pro 6E, available as a single router for some $300 or a 3-pack for $700. There’s also a new inconsequential eero 6+ that’s basically the same as the eero 6 but …
If you’re on the market for a top-tier Wi-Fi 6E mesh Wi-Fi system, you must be aware of the NETGEAR RBKE960 series (available as a 3-pack RBKE963, 2-pack RBKE962, or a single router RBRE960) and the 2-pack ASUS ZenWiFi Pro ET12 (also available as a single router.) And maybe that’s …
The ZenWiFi Pro ET12—not to be confused with the XT12—is the fourth Wi-Fi 6E mesh system I’ve tested, after the Linksys AXE8400, the ZenWiFi ET8, and the NETGEAR Orbi RBKE960 series. And again, I wanted to love it as a fully wireless system but couldn’t due to the innate short …
When it comes to a Wi-Fi router’s antennas, my standard recommendation, for the most part, is to leave them alone. I even wrote a long post about this topic. Wi-Fi antennas: There’s no such thing as high-gain Now, TP-Link’s new Archer AXE200 makes me think twice. No, you still should …
If you’re wondering about the whereabouts of those Wi-Fi 6E solutions TP-Link flaunted back in January 2021, your guess is as good as mine. So far, none has materialized. I recently asked TP-Link about them, and the company said while it missed the release dates, its commitment to the new …
Comcast announced today its latest xFi Advanced Gateway that, among other things, has the support for Wi-Fi 6E. Wi-Fi 6E: What it is and the problems it tries to solve The new gateway shares a similar up-right rectangle box as existing xFi gateways, but it now comes in white instead …
The new NETGEAR Orbi RBKE960 series—currently available as a 3-pack Orbi RBKE963—is a nice and large Wi-Fi 6E mesh box of mixed feelings. On the one hand, it’s excellent, delivering seemingly everything a home user would ask for in a home mesh system. On the other, it has a deliberately …
In late June 2021, ASUS quietly released the ZenWiFi ET8 Whole-Home Tri-Band Wi-Fi 6E 2-pack mesh system for a relatively friendly cost of $530. And that brings us to this ZenWiFi ET8 vs. XT8 matchup. On the face of it, the new ET8 seems like a good deal, considering the …
