Highlights

  • Key Specs
    • Wi-Fi Speed: 5.4 gigabits per second (The maximum rate at which data is transferred between a network device and wireless router.)
    • Wireless Standard: AX, AC, N (The wireless networking protocol used by the device. Each iteration of the protocol is based on the 802.11 standard developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standards Association. Denoted by letters following 802.11 (802.11a, 802.11ac, etc.), each version, published in alphabetical order, encompasses all previous versions.)
    • Form Factor: Plug-in (The size, arrangement, and physical configuration of the product.)
    • Band Technology: Tri (Refers to the number of frequency bands used to wirelessly transmit an internet signal. For example, dual-band devices may use one 2.4 and one 5 GHz band, while tri-band devices may use one 2.4 and two 5 GHz bands. Multiple bands also provide more flexibility for designating connected devices to specific band use.)
    • Frequency Band: 6.0 GHz, 5.0 GHz, 2.4 GHz (Bands may be grouped into categories such as low- and high-band VHF (Very High Frequency), low- and high-band UHF (Ultra High Frequency), or certain frequency channels (measured in MHz or GHz). Generally, higher frequencies transmit information faster but have shorter range than lower frequencies.)
    • Antenna Type: External
    • Number of Antennas: 4
    • Number of LAN Ports: 1 (Number of devices able to be connected to the Local Area Network (LAN). LAN ports allow wired connections to other networking devices (wireless access points, range extenders, etc.) in order to share the internet connection received through a WAN port.)
    • Wireless Networking Standard: Wi-Fi 6E (The wireless networking standard used by the device. Each iteration of the standard developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance corresponds to an existing IEEE 802.11 protocol; for example, standard 802.11ac (or AC) is termed Wi-Fi 5. Refers specifically to the standard the device is designed to use, but ultimately determines product interoperability and backward compatibility including previous versions.)

    Wifi extender

    A great extender. Awesome signal upstairs and down stairs. Use it with phones and laptops with no loss of connection and speed.

    Decent but needs firmware updates

    This is a solid range extender, although I do find that the mesh capability is a bit slow when handing off your signal from one unit to another. The range is also not very excellent, especially since I recommend lowering the broadcast power to the lowest setting to prevent the unit from overheating. If you keep it on the lowest setting and place it in a good location, everything will work fine. It likely needs additional firmware updates to get the best results.

    WiFi 6E + OneMesh = Fast and Flexible

    Impressive speeds, but be sure to note that 6GHz naturally cannot travel as far 5GHz (which already has less range than 2.4GHz). If you want to ensure that you are leveraging the 6GHz channel as a backhaul for OneMesh, then make sure you check the Tether app to confirm the PHY speeds your getting on the 6GHz channel and move the extender a bit closer to optimize performance if necessary. Using an AXE5400 wifi card, I’m seeing speeds in excess of 1Gb/s when accessing an NVMe SSD connected via a USB adapter directly linked to my router. At most I’ve seen 1.2Gb/s through 5GHz at 30-40 feet away through a floor. My iPhone 13 Pro Max maxes (ba-dum-tisss) out at around 800Mb/s with this new setup, but expect a bit less under realistic conditions. I’m using a TP-Link AXE300 router with 3 of these extenders and the lowest speeds I’m seeing indoors ranges from 200-350MB/s. My house has thick stone walls that transition into wooden siding above the stone, but the wooden siding has metal sheeting under it. With that said, I will not comment on outdoor performance as my house is essentially a faraday cage that wifi cannot escape and cell service cannot enter. The good news is that the AXE300 router and these extenders support OneMesh, so the TP-Link PowerLine WiFi extender that I already have still integrates seamlessly with this setup and allows me to have usable WiFi outdoors.
