- Is the RadiX AXE6600 worth it over a cheaper Wi-Fi 6 router?
- If you have multi-gig internet or a 10G NAS, the 2.5 GbE WAN and 10 GbE LAN ports are the main reason to pick it. On a standard gigabit connection, a cheaper Wi-Fi 6 router covers most of the same ground.
- Does it support mesh networking?
- No. The RadiX AXE6600 is a standalone router with no mesh system, so extending coverage means adding an access point or a second router in bridge mode.
- What is the 6 GHz band good for?
- The 6 GHz band is reserved for Wi-Fi 6E devices, so it stays free of older gear and is less congested. Only Wi-Fi 6E clients such as newer phones and laptops can use it.
- How many wired devices can I connect?
- There are five LAN ports, one of which runs at 10 GbE, plus a 2.5 GbE WAN port. That is enough for a gaming PC, console, NAS and a couple of other devices without a switch.
- Does it have a USB port for a printer or drive?
- Yes, there is one USB port. It can be used for storage sharing or a printer, but there is only one, so you cannot do both at once without a hub.
- Is it compatible with older Wi-Fi devices?
- Yes. It runs 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz alongside 6 GHz, so Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 4 devices connect normally on the older bands.
