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 that needs high speed on 5GHz, the rest would all be WiFi 6.
1000 square feet/100 sq m. I saw 4x4 in general should be able to go further distance wise? Is that right?
Same vendor (Nokia), they’re the choices from my ISP (I get fibre and they have a fibre port in them).
WiFi 5: Nokia G-240W-C
WiFi 6: Nokia G-2426G-A and Nokia XS-2426G-A
I have a 300 down/100 up package. I currently have the first router (WiFi 5) and it does work OK, just won’t share efficiently between devices (no SQM or similar QoS options).
I could just connect a nice AP to an Ethernet port of the router but that adds more clutter than I need.
