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 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
In most cases, a new network card should improve the WiFi performance, assuming that it’s a better card than the one that you’re replacing. So, what are you waiting for? Go on, install that new network card and enjoy a far better Internet experience. And I won’t deny that it a lot of cases, this … 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
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
While the WiFi brings some obvious benefits over the cabled Ethernet connection, we soon realized that the open air is a tricky medium and the WiFi dead spots are a common consequence. The good news is that you can fix them at virtually any budget since it’s there are repeaters, access points and mesh routers … Read more
The Ubiquiti U6-LR (Unifi 6 Long Range) is one of the best WiFi 6 access points that the manufacturer has developed so far and, alongside the U6-Lite, the U6-Pro and the newer U6-Enterprise, Ubiquiti manages to cover the entire market spectrum, allowing for an easy transition for any SMB (or SME) that may want to … Read more
The Zyxel WAX630S is one of the new members of the Unified Pro WiFi 6 access points developed for SMB and enterprise use, and the device seems to be a more compact version of the WAX650S that I tested a couple of years ago, but are there other changes that go farther than skin-deep? Zyxel … Read more
The EnGenius ECW220S is a part of the new security access points which make use of the full spectrum of features from AirGuard and, as its name suggests, it is a buffed up version of the ECW220 that we tested close to a year ago. The EnGenius ECW220S does look identical on the outside to … Read more
The Netgear RAX43 or AX5 can be considered a mid-range WiFi 6 router and it sits a bit above the RAX40 (the second generation!), but immediately below the Netgear RAX50. And, when put next to the RAX50, there really aren’t that many differences, with the exception of the less powerful 5GHz radio band (I will … Read more
