Actually even with wifi 6 160Mhz already quite fast and beyond traditional speed of 1Gbps. USB wifi adaptor still can not support 320 Mhz yet and must wait and see.
Whoa guess 810v worth the price then since it has the better coverage. That 8m speed test between both is significant imo.
My guess is in the near future TP-Link will sure come out with some more powerful wifi router. My 810v is very cheap only as it is provided by Technical Support at a much reduced price. So very very cheap for me. Thanks to the Nokia ONR peak hour slow down issue.
Can use a POE splitter. The large ones can do up to 12V 60W, which wil be enough for HB710, but smaller POE splitter cannot.
OIC, consider putting wired backhaul in Study 2 to cover master bathroom and wired backhaul in living room to cover balcony. Start with 2 new mesh routers, then expand if necessary. You are fortunate to have LAN points everywhere.
The POE Splitter can support 10Gbps LAN?
You're right. Fastest I've seen is 2.5Gbps
It will be best to have a point power there. 5G POE still ok to buy.
Indeed. My quick test shows the coverage is not as good as my Asus RT-AX86U and Asus TUF-BE6500, but still decent. This is kind of expected.
I will carry out more coverage related tests over the weekend to compare with Asus RT-AX86U and Asus TUF-BE6500.
6GHz coverage may not be good -- so I tested 5GHz coverage using my older Acer Swift 3 laptop early 2021 model (Intel Core i5-1135G7 CPU, 16GB/512GB) with Intel AX201 WiFi 6 adpater in this quick test.
TP-Link HB710 router in the living room.
3m away in the living room, strong signal on the 5GHz band
6m away with one thick wall in between, common toilet, still quite good signal on the 5GHz band.
This is an 1998 HDB flat so the walls are thick and can block WiFi signals quite effectively.
8m away with two walls in between the laptop and the router, weak signal on the 5GHz band. The results are not as good as the two Asus routers.
Actually this $192 router can give you the following consider ok as the price is cheap. I think using MLO is good as it give you, 136 mbps DL and 86 mbps UL at 8m away is consider quite ok. You can watch 4k UHD video streaming with this speed. Ping 5ms is ok too. This router is acceptable.HB710 router, Acer Swift Go 14 2024 model (Intel Core Ultra 5 125H CPU, 16GB, 1TB, Killer BE1750 WiFi 7 adpater based on Intel BE200 chipset).
8m away with two walls in between the laptop and the router, weak signal on the 5GHz/6GHz band.
5GHz vs 6GHz vs 5GHz+6GHz MLO at far range ==> all speed data are not good. 5GHz is actually the worst, probably due to more interferences from neighbours in that area (service yard, on top of the washing machine).
2.4GHz/5GHz SSID --> connected to 5GHz band
MLO SSID, 5GHz+6GHz MLO
6GHz SSID
Asus TUF-BE6500 router, Acer Swift Go 14 2024 model (Intel Core Ultra 5 125H CPU, 16GB, 1TB, Killer BE1750 WiFi 7 adpater based on Intel BE200 chipset).
8m away with two walls in between the laptop and the router.
Download speed is not too bad --> Asus TUF-BE6500 has not bad coverage, but then upload speed is slow since the laptop has smaller Tx power.
Main SSID: 5GHz+2.4GHz MLO
5GHz SSID (2.4GHz/5GHz IoT SSID, connected with 5GHz band)
True. However, still can buy HB710 as the price is low. Speed acceptable for 130+ DL and 80+ UL at 8m away.
Australia region is key. They have higher power allowances
