wifi 6(6e) routers What Wifi 6(6E) router to buy.

[Papusan]

What Wifi 6(6E) router to buy. Wifi 7 routers is in early life and all of them are quite expensive. Neiter do I need it https://www.tomshardware.com/news/wi-fi-7-faq

 

So, yes, Wi-Fi 7 is here, but we highly suggest that you "sit on the sidelines until at least 2024" when the market is expected to start fully embracing the standard.

 

I have an Asus RT-AC3200 I want to replace it with a new router.

Good range great speed, reliable. not much more you could want from a router aside from NEW-newer RGB buttons

I would skip a consumer 6E router and get a Ruckus R650 or something similar. I've had a few Asus ROG wireless routers until I went with Ruckus. Now I don't have any down time when it comes to wireless. Unless you really need 6E, it's just not worth it.

I have just bought a Qnap Qhora next generation wifi 6 and am doing well, apart from the configuration which can be a bit difficult for those coming from normal routers.
