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.
I have been quite excited about NETGEAR’s latest Nighthawk M6 Pro 5G Wi-Fi 6E Hotspot Router (model MR6550) since its announcement on May 10. And who wouldn’t? At a current cost of one thousand US dollars, this is the most expensive router, pound per pound. To put things in perspective, …
At the retail price of $599.99, the TP-Link Archer BE800 BE19000 Tri-Band Wi-Fi 7 Router is not cheap. But it’s also far from a ripoff, considering it’s definitely better than the once-similarly-priced Archer AXE300. Among other things, the new router features Wi-Fi 7 and is the first to have six …
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 …
If you have difficulty deciding between the RadiX AXE6600 vs. RadiX AX6600, the two new routers from MSI, this quick comparison post is for you. These are almost identical Wi-Fi machines in and out. That’s not to mention they represent MSI’s return to home networking after over a decade—they are …
At a glance, MSI’s RadiX AXE6600 (model GRAXE66) is a much fancier router than its almost identical twin, the RadiX AX6600. MSI debuted both last months as its first home Wi-Fi routers in over a decade. Looking closer, though, the GRAXE66’s extras, namely the Mystic Light and the 6GHz band, …
If you have never heard of MSI, a.k.a Micro-Star International, it’s a Taipei-based tech hardware company focusing on motherboards and gaming PCs. And that makes the Wi-Fi 6 RadiX AX6600 (model GRAX66) special. Together with the Wi-Fi 6E RadiX AXE6600—the two were first announced during CES2022 and became available earlier …
The NETGEAR A8000 Nighthawk AXE3000 Wi-Fi 6E USB 3.0 Adapter is a much-anticipated upgrade for many. It quickly adds Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 6 to any existing Windows computer. Windows 11 gets both Wi-Fi 6 and 6E. Windows 10 only gets Wi-Fi 6 from it. And in my testing, the …
In many ways, the ROG Rapture GT-AX11000 Pro is the upgrade to ASUS’s GT-AX11000 that came out more than three years ago. If the latter is ASUS’s first step into Wi-Fi 6, the new router is its final hardware in this Wi-Fi standard. It seems that way, anyway. And to …
This is the ASUS RT-AXE7800 vs. NETGEAR RAXE300 matchup I promised in the review of the former. Asus’s latest Wi-Fi 6E router is the answer to the NETGEAR’s counterpart, whether or not anyone wants to admit it. Sharing the exact same Wi-Fi specs and processing power, the two seem to …
The RT-AXE7800 is not ASUS’s first Wi-Fi 6E Tri-Band router—far from it. Before this, the company already had the GT-AXE11000, ZenWiFi ET8, GT-AXE16000, and ZenWiFi Pro ET12. But the new router still manages to be unique. Its hardware specs remind me of the NETGEAR RAXE300, and its appearance brings back …
