It's not all about raw speed. Wifi6 vs 5:

• Handles more devices simultaneously through improved MU-MIMO technology, letting routers talk to 8 devices at once (vs 4 in WiFi 5)

• Reduces battery drain on connected devices through Target Wake Time (TWT), which lets devices sleep more efficiently

• Better performance in crowded areas like apartments or offices due to BSS Coloring, which reduces interference from neighboring networks

• Lower latency for gaming and real-time applications through OFDMA technology, which divides channels into smaller sub-channels

• Improved security with mandatory WPA3 encryption (optional in WiFi 5)

• Better beamforming capabilities to focus signals directly to devices instead of broadcasting in all directions

• 160MHz channel utilization (vs 80MHz in WiFi 5) for more efficient data transmission even when not at max speeds
+1000 to this. Had these and they constantly died.

Just get some refurb Eeros from Amazon (what I ended up doing) which are sorta close to this price point for a single unit, and you'll never have to think about your wifi again

(PS not an ad for them, just a longtime Eero user/fan)
Even if these were FREE it would not be worth the hassle. Awful product and I am sorry I own these. Don't take my word for it, read the thousands of 1 star reviews on google play explaining how the app is total trash and doesn't let you configure these.... and when/if you did get them configured, your coverage is spotty and unreliable.

Save yourself the headache

Dont even bother buying e-waste when wifi 6/6e/7 mesh systems are here and some sub $100 already brandnew.
26 bucks for 4000+ sq feet of wifi is still pretty decent

What's the real world benefit of newer standards? Bigger numbers, but most households aren't taking advantage of these upgrades. This is a great deal for most people.

This is great if you want to setup an isolated IoT network if your" main one does not, so you can keep the spies on the e-waste. Now some of the newer mesh systems support, but most don't have proper isolation, mac filtering, or VLANs/ This is a cheap solution.

Picked this up for a family member with an older setup—big upgrade for basic streaming and everyday use. Not top-tier tech, but at $27 for a 3-pack, it's hard to beat for smaller homes or as a budget-friendly mesh starter. Setup can be a bit clunky, but once it's running, it does the job. Definitely a good pick if you're not chasing WiFi 6.

I used these for around 4 years, I had one node die after about 3 years but my house wasn't big enough to need 3 so I did with 2 until I recently upgraded to linksys 6E. I'm 99% sure these are OpenWRT compatible and the speeds will be 100% adequate if your internet speed demands are less than 100-ish mbps.

these look like the much slower cousin of what I own which are just amazing:
Linksys LN1301-MX4200_MX4300_MX4301_AX4200 ; paid $20 brand new for each node.

These are using 9W power each when idle, so roughly cost $30 a year to run. Not a biggie but my Omada AP uses less than half of that.
