I do get the question of whether the WiFi 6 routers have better range from time to time and my answer is that some do have a better range than the WiFi 5 router, while some don’t. It’s only normal that an expensive new piece of technology will behave better than an old, battle-scarred router. … Read more
The EnGenius ECW336 is the first WiFi 6E developed by the manufacturer and it can also be considered the current flagship wireless access point considering that the engineers didn’t really hold back when they designed the device. In terms of hardware, there is now a 5GbE port as opposed to the 2.5GbE of the ECW230 … Read more
The Reyee RG-E5 is the current flagship WiFi 6 router model from who I initially assumed to be a completely new player in the consumer-based networking market. But Reyee is actually being owned by Ruijie Networks which has a long history of developing enterprise-level networking hardware (well over two decades), so the Reyee brand can … Read more
The TP-Link EAP610-Outdoor was developed to showcase the advantages of the WiFi 6 features in an outdoor setting and, while it may seem as a replacement to the CPE series (WiFi 5), I am more inclined to believe that it’s part of a potentially new series with a different goal in mind. TP-Link EAP610-Outdoor Amazon.com … Read more
If we were to follow the values on the router boxes, the most suitable channel width for 5GHz would be 160MHz, with every other setting pushed to the maximum (including the transmit power). And, while I won’t deny that it’s entirely possible to see a better throughput this way, these overhyped features and inflated numbers … Read more
The TP-Link TL-ER7206 is the better model from the SafeStream Gigabit Multi-WAN series and it was designed to act as the security gateway to an Omada system. So, it’s very similar to the Zyxel USG Flex 100 and probably closer in functionality to the Ubiquiti ER-X, especially since it has a multitude of WAN ports … Read more
The Asus RT-AX53U is yet another AX1800-class router released by the Taiwanese manufacturer and, while I don’t mind having some diversity, why not choose the RT-AX56U or even the RT-AX55 instead? The Asus RT-AX53U is definitely less powerful than the RT-AX56U and it’s clear to see when checking out the internal hardware, but it doesn’t … Read more
The FS S3150-8T2FP has a lot in common with the FS S3410-10TF-P, which was the junior member of the L2+ fully managed Pro series and, besides the robust software features (plus the similarity with Cisco equipment), it was also able to handle quite a few PoE+ devices. FS S3150-8T2FP FS.COM Check Product The FS S3150-8T2FP … Read more
The correct answer to whether you should change the WiFi AP transmit power depends on the network density and the amount of interference. If you’re in the middle of nowhere, you could have some fun pushing everything to the maximum, but in a crowded area, which includes all cities, you’re going to have a bad … Read more
The EnGenius ECW230S is currently one of the two WiFi 6 access points that make use of the WIPS and Zero DFS radios to dramatically improve the way the system admin can monitor the network by getting a better understanding of the channel utilization, the live clients and some other network activities. EnGenius ECW230S EnGeniusTech.com … Read more
