Abstract: It's been a long, slow slog for the engineers developing Wi-Fi 6 chipsets and products. I've been in the thick of it, trying to develop Wi-Fi 6 test methods that can show whether these draft-standard products deliver on the benefits they promise. That eff...

Geeky design (if you're into that) that can be mounted to a wall, Fast performance across the board, Supports Wi-Fi 6 features, Has link aggregation, Speedy file transfer performance via USB
Not fully compatible with some older Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) adapters, Limited QoS controls, Expensive, Not many devices fully support Wi-Fi 6 features (yet)

A powerful Wi-Fi 6 router, the Netgear Nighthawk AX8 delivers some of the fastest throughputs we've seen, even when using older Wi-Fi 5 devices. The only real issue is the price, with this router significantly more expensive than existing Wi-Fi routers. N...
Excellent performance over 802.11ac, 4x4 MU-MIMO, Good physical connections
Not quite as fast as the competition, Unambitious feature set, Only dual-band
If you're considering buying an 802.11ax router at this point in time, that implies that you're willing to pay a premium to get the very fastest performance. If that's so, the Nighthawk AX8 is a tempting proposition but the Asus RT-AX88U delivers even bet...
