The EnGenius ECW520 is one of the most affordable WiFi 7 access points that the company currently offers and its aim was to offer enterprise-level features, while keeping the price tag underneath $200. And that’s perfectly fine, but we do have the 2x2x2 ECW526 available as well and recently, EnGenius has also released the affordable … Read more
The EnGenius ECW516L arrives a year after the flagship ECW536 hit the market and it does have a different role than to solely showcase technological development.
