![SIMPLE BUT EFFECTIVE WIFI 6E [6 GHz ONLY] ACCESS POINT DEVICE – SMALL – WORKS WELL](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/x-locale/common/transparent-pixel._V192234675_.gif){kind=tracking}
SIMPLE BUT EFFECTIVE WIFI 6E [6 GHz ONLY] ACCESS POINT DEVICE – SMALL – WORKS WELL
PRODUCT VERSION REVIEWEDARRIS SURFBOARD WI-FI 6E NETWORK UPGRADE ADAPTER W6U | DEDICATED 6 GHZ BAND FOR COMPATIBLE DEVICES | 2.5 GBPS PORT | WORKS WITH ANY WI-FI DEVICE | UPGRADE YOUR NETWORK TO WI-FI 6EQUICK REVIEW [TL;DR]SIMPLE BUT EFFECTIVE WIFI 6E [6 GHz ONLY] ACCESS POINT DEVICE – SMALL – WORKS WELLREVIEW:This WiFi Access point works well, especially for the size. It is only an Access Point, not a router, not a media bridge. It only does one thing. It provides a 6GHz WiFi 6e Access point. That is it.It is full featured in fact that it allows you to create a custom SSID, change bandwidth size, change the channel, etc.What it does, it does very well.PRO’s- Well Built- Easy Setup- Relatively Compact Size- All Included Cables- LED can be turned offSETUPI received a used/returned item, so first I had to do a factory reset (press hold reset 20 seconds). Next, I plugged it into my physical network, and looked at my old Router to see what IP was assigned to the device. Next, I used that IP address to change the SSID and password. Then I was all set.I do wish it also provided a media bridge (receive WiFi and hand off LAN), which I’m sure it could do with the right software. But it never said it could be used that way, so no point off.TESTINGIn my testing the WiFi 6e [6GHz] was much faster than my WiFi 5 network. This is in largely due to better compression, wider bandwidth, and a currently almost empty spectrum [6GHz]. Roughly it was about 25% faster, which allowed my speeds to get closer to 1Gbps (the limit of my network and internet).You should know that the higher the band (example 6GHz instead of 5Ghz or 2.4Ghz) the shorter distance the signal can carry, especially when going through walls. In the same room you should get close to wired speeds. The next room over there is about 50% drop off. Two rooms over, there is about 75% drop off. This one device won’t cover your entire house, just a room or two.NOTE: Windows 10 and below can’t operate on the 6GHz band with WiFi 6e. So unless you are on Windows 11 (or running hacked drivers) your computer won’t even see the WiFi 6e SSID.RECOMMENDATION:This is a very niche product. It is worth it if you need it.I do recommend the product, but only for niche use cases.
