    News NETGEAR Announces 6E Orbi

    OK, thanks. I had missed the statement in the picture. I just skipped to the Technical Datasheet. Still not clear if the channels used for interconnection are the higher channels (100 up). And, using the 6 GHz at full speed for a satellite seems impossible if the feeding speed is "just" that of...

    News NETGEAR Announces 6E Orbi

    I am wondering which band is being used for the interconnection between the router and the satellite(s) of the Orbi RBKE960 series. I tried the Orbi SXK80-series for some weeks and was not able to use the upper channels in the 5 GHz band (channel 100 etc). I suppose this band was reserved for...

    Looking to upgrade from a "home" class router to a "business" class router

    @SonjaDC Consider a Ubiquiti EdgeMax router, like ER-12 (includes a hardware switch).

    Is it stupid to buy a Draytek Vigor 2926 router?

    To give an answer to the question, posted by @m4rk0 : I bought a Ubiquiti EdgeMax ER-12. Is running for nearly 2 years now without any problem.

    [EAX-80] New official firmware is BETA ?!? (58)

    I know, but than it is NOT a BETA. A BETA version is a test version, open for a selected group of users who voluntarily test it. If Netgear wants to have the hot fix used by all customers then don't call it BETA.

    [EAX-80] New official firmware is BETA ?!? (58)

    Hi, I checked the download support page for the EAX-80 and noticed a new firmware version (finally): 1.0.0.58 - Hot Fix This version has some security updates. But when I download the file it seems to be a BETA version of the firmware (EAX80-V1.0.0.58_1.0.1_BETA.chk). I find this strange to...

    [EAX-80] 2x and no seamless handover

    I have 2 times an EAX-80, connected over cat7 cable to a Ubiquiti ER-12 router. Both EAX-80 are set to AP, carrying the same SSID but are set to different channels. When I go around my place there are locations where only one AP can be seen, but also a location where both are almost equal in...

    [EAX-80] - Is another EAX-80 seen as radar?

    Hi, As the "Flying Dutchman" of this forum I thought it would be obvious that I am from The Netherlands.....o_O I have stopped using the DFS band as too many times the EAX80 reverted back to the normal channels (48). Why trying when it doesn't work..... Regarding the bandwidth, there is no...

    [EAX-80] - Is another EAX-80 seen as radar?

    I have 2x an EAX-80. This to cover the whole house with WiFi6. They are both connected over CAT6 cable to the router and set-up as Access Points. When I set both AP's 5 GHz band to channel 108 this band is often not starting on both on power-up. I see the 2.4 GHz band coming up but the 5 GHz...

    EAX80 - WiFi 6 extender - Is it supporting a wired backbone?

    In the settings page it shows "Max 4800 Mbps" for 5 GHz. I have installed a 2nd EAX80 for upstairs, also connected over cable to the router. The whole house is now WiFi-6 ready.

    EAX80 - WiFi 6 extender - Is it supporting a wired backbone?

    EAX80 now running for a week. Works great so far. SPEED Compared with the R7800 I get higher up- and downloads with my Sony Xperia XC and Microsoft Surface Pro. The Sony was limited to 150 Mb/s and now runs 200+ both ways on 5 GHz. My ISP-speed is 1Gb/s up and down. It is still AC what I use...

    EAX80 - WiFi 6 extender - Is it supporting a wired backbone?

    Hi, I am considering using a EAX80 WiFi 6 extender, but want to make use of a wired backbone (so this extender is connected over ethernet cable to the router). When reading the specs I can't become sure that this device is supporting this. Is anyone knowing the answer?
