At the time I looked I couldn't find a Wifi 6E Access Point significantly cheaper than $279. Have you?

- treffer 3y agoTotolink X5000R. 50-70€. OpenWRT support. Wifi 6e on 2.4 & 5 GHz Bands.
- strongpigeon 3y agoI think this one is only Wifi 6, not 6e (i.e.: the 6 GHz band)
- treffer 3y agoRight. Always forget about that. 6GHz licensing in Europe is bad / late. So we didn't get to enjoy the 6e fun here :-/ But I can highly recommend to get Wifi 6 on the 2.4 GHz Band, too. I've finally gotten usable 2.4GHz again as that band was stuck on Wifi 4 (Wifi 5 (ac) was a 5Ghz improvement only).
- rekoil 3y agoBut WiFi 6E is approved in Europe? I'm in Sweden and my U6-Enterprise is perfectly happy broadcasting in the 6GHz bands without any region hacks.
- treffer 3y agoThere is a nice world map. Yes, the lower part of the 6GHz spectrum is enbaled. So only parts if it. No outdoor use unless power is capped massively
- rekoil 3y agoAh, didn't know that. Is there a plan to enable more of it or has the EU already allocated 6 GHz to some other use?
- treffer 3y agoWifi.org says it's under consideration. But I wouldn't wait for it to happen. Due to all of that I mostly ignored the 6GHz wifi stuff.... So interesting to hear it's working for you. That's the first time I hear someone from Europe say it's working for them.
- blindriver 3y agoThere's plenty that are around the $130 level, like Google Nest Wifi. Plus, the U6 Enterprise is only an Access Point, it's not the full router. It only connect your wifi to your Unifi network.
- sliken 3y agoSure, it's just an AP, it connects wifi to you network. But there's no requirement to use unifi for the rest of your network. Personally I'm happy to trust ubiquiti with my AP, but not with my router.
