Last year the range of WiFi 6 routers and mesh systems from Netgear were expensive, to say the least. At CES this year, it looks like WiFi 6 is dropping in price with several announcements including D-Links new range of affordable EasyMesh WiFi 6 routers.

Wi-Fi 6 has been off to a slow start, multiple routers were announced last year but Wi-Fi 6 modules for laptops and desktops did not become available until June with the Killer Wi-Fi 6 AX1650 Module and later the Intel AX200. The cost of routers has been steep too, and when Netgear introduced Wi-Fi 6…

Wi-fi 6 is the biggest thing to happen to wireless networking in years with improvements in features across the board. In theory, it should be able to compete if not best gigabit wired connections with theoretical speeds of 10.53Gbps and reduced latency. I have covered the differences between Wi-fi 6 (802.11ax) vs Wi-Fi ( 802.11ac)…
