Thanks. These are the exact models: WiFi 5: Nokia G-240W-C WiFi 6: Nokia G-2426G-A and Nokia XS-2426G-A

Most assuredly not consumer-grade stuff. At least their modern designs.

Hi all, I have a mix of WiFi 5 and WiFi 6 devices. Is it better to have a WiFi 5 4x4 AP or a WiFi 6 2x2? (Those are my only two options). I could move stuff like a smart TV and IoT devices to 2.4GHz so they don’t interfere with 5GHz, that would really then leave just the one WiFi 5 device...

True but there’s apparently a rule that business gear can change regions. The WAX204 has different firmware so I was wondering if the quasi-business nature of this offers a higher probability of region change.

I was thinking of a WAX204, not on the consumer line.

Thanks but do the netgear routers bought in the UK allow region changes?

Hello all, as of 2020 OFCOM in the UK allows non-DFS channel 149 and up (the 4 channels starting at 149). But so far I can’t find which vendors are following the new rules. Failing that, do netgear routers purchased in the UK allow the region to be set to Asia for example? Several countries...

Xiaomi and others do it, including some European companies, no not sure if that’s a real rule, or something we are told. It could just be some vendors are ignoring this.

Interesting, thanks. So ASUS isn’t keeping up with OFCOM regulations. So no Latin America, no Asia, no African regions.

Hi all, I know it’s not possible to change the region of US-purchased routers. If a router is purchased in the UK, does that allow at least some regions to be selected? Or is it locked to Europe? The UK has a different set of laws as of 2020 and allows non-DFS channels 149 for example.

I have an all-apple household and bought one of these refurbished for $130. It works amazingly well. With the current firmware as of January 2017, and an HFS+ formatted disk, I can do 30MB/s reads from a USB2-attached HDD. In addition, I got over 600Mbit/s using iperf and having one computer...
