Tri-band refers to Wi-Fi broadcasters with three bands using three radios of different frequencies or two radios with one split in two, specifically, 2.4GHz + 5GHz + 6GHz or 2.4GHz + 5GHz-1 + 5GHz-2.
The TP-Link Archer GX90 sure is certainly an interesting Wi-Fi 6 tri-band gaming router. On the one hand, it’s the alter ego of the Archer AX90—the two share the same hardware specs. On the other hand, as a gaming router, it resembles the Archer AX11000 in terms of appearance, features, …
If you read my review of the ZenWiFi XT8, you’d note that I recommended it mainly for those living in a home with no network cables. If you have gotten your home wired, though, this ASUS ZenWiFi XD6 AX5400 is an equally excellent alternative. Sure, it’ll work in a wireless …
This quick post is the GS-AX5400 vs. GS-AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 router matchup. These two distinctive gaming routers, part of Asus’s ROG STRIX series, have a lot in common yet sizable differences in performance. When through, you’ll be able to figure out which one to pick for yourself. And if you …
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 …
In many ways, the ASUS ZenWiFi ET8 AXE6600 Tri-Band Wi-Fi 6E Mesh System is an example of how the latest is not necessarily the greatest. This new mesh set is not a replacement for the previous ZenWiFi XT8. Despite the same look and similar hardware specs, the two have little …
The NETGEAR MK83 Nighthawk tri-band Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi 6 System, first announced on March 16, 2021, sure seems an upgrade to the previous Dual-band MK63 model. It has an additional 5GHz band and, therefore, more bandwidth. But on the inside, it’s pretty much the same as its lesser cousin, …
If you think the entry-level WAX214 I recently review doesn’t cut it for your needs—and you’re probably right—here’s some good news. The NETGEAR WAX630 Insight Managed Wi-Fi 6 AX6000 tri-band Multi-Gig Access Point, announced today, is an excellent alternative. NETGEAR says the new access point is ideal for environments with …
You would definitely love to be blown away by this first-of-its-kind Linksys Atlas Max 6E (AXE8400) mesh Wi-Fi system, which includes three Linksys MX8500 routers. Who wouldn’t, after having paid over $1000 for it? I paid nothing—Linksys shipped me a review loaner set—and still wished it were great! But the “it’s …
This ASUS GT-AXE11000 vs. NETGEAR RAXE500 matchup is very similar to the one of the ASUS GT-AX1100 vs. NETGEAR RAX200 with a twist: Currently, I do not recommend that you rush out to buy either of the former. There’s nothing wrong with the routers themselves—they are both great in their …
As the second Wi-Fi 6E broadcaster on the market, the much anticipated NETGEAR RAXE500 Nighthawk 12-Stream AXE11000 Tri-Band Wi-Fi 6E Router is the presumed rival of the ASUS GT-AXE11000 that arrived earlier this year. Apart from the additional 6GHz band, the two have many other things in common. That includes …
