WiFi 6 or WiFi 6E Whole Home Mesh system ?

Did you know a WiFi 6 Whole-Home Mesh system could be better than a WiFi 6E Mesh system?!
Older technology but better?!
Please watch the video to find out why :-)

I had to make this same exact decision about a month ago and I went with the Wi-Fi six for that very reason. Having the 5.2 GHz backhaul wirelessly works perfectly for my scenario and I have a total of three routers two of those being nodes I really wanted to go wired, but I just couldn’t pull it off. Great video with lots of detail like always. Thank you.

This is by far the best video explaining Wifi 6, Wifi 6E, and why quad band mesh router is better. Now I know which Mesh Wifi I should buy. Thank you.

I really enjoy your friendly presentation style combined with excellent knowledge and graphics - thanks!

Did not know Mo Salah has a part-time job in IT... BTW, great explanation! keep up the great work Behfor.

The 6Ghz band has so many channels that even with a similar amount of devices connected like a 5Ghz band along with the band being used as a backhaul, there is almost no perceived drop in speed because of 7 vs 2 160Mhz wide channels on 6Ghz vs 5Ghz respectively. So in fact, that single 6Ghz band on the Wifi 6E router has more channels than both the 5Ghz channels on the wifi 6 router combined. But yes if you want the absolute best no compromise performance, get either TriBand wifi 6 or QuadBand Wifi 6E/7. You would barely notice a difference from experience because you would still have at least 3-4 or more channels free depending on how many is used for the backhaul. Also while the 6Ghz band has much weaker range, when connecting 2 routers together the connection is a much stronger 4x4 connection which allows for a greater range before performance decreases significantly compared to single devices. For me with a 1 gigabit connection the node of my router while being about 45ft apart still has a fluctuating transmission rate of 1.5-2.4gigabit and I get about 650Mbps from the node and 950Mbps from the main router

This video cleared everything up for me! Bravo!! Thank you Behfor! 🤩

I change from TP Link to Asus because of you and Asus Firmware is sure superior, updated to Merlin, It is spectacular

[toolate]

I use wired backhaul, which, as you say, makes all the difference.

[darkenergy]

With my 5 to 10 year old computers and 3 to 4 year old smartphones, I'm starting to feel as if I'm living in the dark ages. Even my EVs are now 6 years old. There's just no way I can keep up with these advancements. How do you do it 🤔?

[tim.costello]

great video - love how you deliver the info and at perfect pace. Look forward to watching more videos👍

[Ak-ram]

If i have a Wi-Fi 7 router backhaul wired into a Wi-Fi 6 node will i still get the benefit of Wi-Fi 7 through my node? or should i set up the Wi-Fi 7 as a node since most of my devices and PC that will benefit are closer to the node than the router? thank you

[gcjackofalltrades]

What is the mesh system you recommend For best stability Speed

[fraliexb]

In your examples for using 6E as gaming PC??? Wouldn't you run CAT5 cable for your PCs?

Quick question if the router is connected to the 6ghz band does it still require the radio from the router for 5ghz on the mesh or does it use its own? Thankyou.

Question- I have 2 ET8 and need one for my basement. Do you think ET8 or XT9?

[tajdvl-advocate]

Best solution is an ET implementing a MoAC backhaul that connects to the 2.5G LAN port of the parent node and to the 2.5G WAN port of the child or children modes. Yes, the XT is better right now with 2, 4 antenna 5G radios but it is not future proof. Further, the 5G spectrum space is currently over utilized and this problem is exacerbated by high density housing. 4 band mesh system also are just too expensive right now to be worth the added cost, especially given that a MoCA backhaul solution is superior to a wireless backhaul anyhow.

[Imranbashir]

Hi please help I have Asus RT AXE7800 6E set up but need to add a mesh node will XT8 6600 work well orXT9 but they are both wifi 6 or shall I just get another 6E router because they won’t work well with backhaul ?

[cycloneyou]

What if you wire the back haul would that be better.

[chuckles]

What about using the 5GHz band for the backhaul and the 6GHz one for all non IoT devices? Seems like you get the benefit of the longer range between mesh nodes and still keep the faster band for devices. Is the only downside to this that some devices don't support use of 6GHz band?

[yamin]

hi
can you recommend node for ASUS RT-AX86u?
