EX7000

Looking to replace my EX6200 repeater with the EX7000. I hear the EX7000 has three radios, namely two 5GHz, and one 2.4GHz. Is that true?

Nope. It's an AC1900 class extender. One each 3x3 2.4 and 5 GHz radios.

Thank you. Does that mean that the EX6200 is a 2x2 for each radio?

I believe it is 3X2 3 in the 2.4ghz and 2 in the 5ghz band.

That's not correct. AC1200 class is 2x2 on each radio.

867Mbps (5GHz) + 300 Mbps (2.4 GHz) = 1167 Mbps rounded up to 1200

Thank you. What would be the breakdown for an AC1900-class device though (such as the EX7000)? As far as I can tell, 433x3 + 150x3 doesn't yield 1900, but 1750. Care to clarify?

You're close.

It is 433x3 + 150x4 = 1900.

But you would need an N class client capable of that to deliver.

How does range extender work? Does it act as an access point to which you connect or does it catch and retransmit all the frames? does it connect simultaneously to both bands? What happens if paired with R8000 which has 3 radios?

I think you're wrong about that. Should be 433x3 + 200x3 = 1900. Both radios are 3x3 and there are only 3 antennas. They get 200 Mbps per stream at 2.4 GHz because it's 256QAM.

Thank you for correcting me about a post I made over three years ago.

(Still think I was right at the time).
