6ghz is basically useless anyways, unless you're like 10 feet from your router.. We're being screwed hard by the FCC on those transmit power limits.. that's the real issue, and I don't think spending more will resolve the issue unless you go mesh.

Saw your video while troubleshooting the link aggregation option on this router. I initially setup link aggregation on ports 2&3, but now those options have seemingly disappeared under Advanced>Network>Lan. Could you possibly verify that link aggregation is on yours? I can’t be hallucinating… thanks! And I appreciated your video discussing the lack of 6 ghz, I liked the price point and 2.5gb ports.

Thank you for this review. I'd already bought this but your review covered a couple of things in setup I had no idea about, thank you.

Ordered from amazon a few days ago, returned it after it arrived, didnt do my research on the 6ghz, its on sale at amazon, i just went with Be9300 for £200

Does this router have the CPU power to support 2gb internet speeds over ethernet?

*weird question* i use a BT broadband (bt hub3) provided by the landloard but i wanted a stable connection and i was considering to get this router but i don't want to unplug the landloard router cause others are still using it, instead i was wondering if i can plug this router on the back of the BT one, would it work? would i see some improvement?

I'm upgrading a couple of ax53's and was going for 2 more AXE75's but i saw this one and luckily thought this seems to good to be true, found you channel and low and behold you have saved me a wedge of cash, thanks for the info on 7 using 2.4/5.8 i was unaware of this and as you mentioned just assumed 7 was on 6g only, so thanks for that. I will wait for wifi7 until it becomes prolific, if im honest i dont even use the 6e ATM partly because if you hold up a piece of paper between the router and the client the dbm drops by 10 😂

thank you for mentioning this! so silly for a wifi 7 router to not include the 6ghz band imo

Does the button on the back labelled WiFi toggle on and off the WiFi?

[bamph]

I have one, do you have any Idea why S24 Ultra does not detect it as Wifi 7 or shows Wifi 7 on the settings even if the MLO is enabled? Advance Thanks.

Got this router a few months ago. So far no complaint at all. Yes, it only has 2 Wifi band (2.4 & 5), I don't know but my Smartphone detect a 6Ghz from it. 😁

But the best of it that it increase the bandwidth limit plan of the ISP router.

Funny how they said in Europe router most people use British words plus Europe have be different alawys In United States the way siad will sound router if you pronunciation rooter will give as present rooter tool will be toilet tool Don't confuse people router vs rooter British alawys different they sprayed language all over the world by British Empire even today they don't have power still not like old days Must depend on United States the most powerful country and market plus technology Most technology design in US but made in China Chinese company without United States
noting will be out for example Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers IEEE make make decisions a many many stuff come Routers and USB with certificate most likely ok Must understand which technology use how you explain not confuse people Even telling someting not every single person understands special older generations 65 plus they don't get it today Wifi 5 6 6E 7 soon WiFi8 2028 so I'm not against anything but I'm trying to catch up word's where how they said where to use ok bye

Honestly with no 6Ghz band this is borderline a scam, product pages boast performance of up tp 3.6GB/s for this router and we are barely experiences 100mbps, will be sending this back for the false advertisement
