Sitecom Wi-Fi Router X6 N900 (WLR-6100) Review

Others/Networking Gear by stefan @ 2013-05-24

Sitecom has reinvented itself with a new look on both the website and the products. Their latest X6 N900 WLR-6100 is a dual-band router with 450Mbps rating on both frequencies, which also sports SCS (Sitecom Cloud Security) subscription free for the first six months, but also multiple mounting possibilities and two USB 2.0 ports for connecting printers and storage devices.

Conclusive Thoughts

The Sitecom X6 N900 (WLR-6100) is another solid router with the 450Mbps standard supported on both bands and features 6 months of protection via Sitecom Cloud Security. Besides that, the router also includes a firewall and DoS protection via the web interface.

 

The X6 N900 also comes with two USB ports which can be used for storage in two different modes, but also for connecting printers. Talking of the hardware, the chassis of the router has been completely redesigned compared to the previous routers we have reviewed from them in the past and can be installed vertically in two modes (on the table, on the wall) or horizontally, on the table, without using the supplied dock. The usual Reset button hole is not present, but the same functionality can be achieved by long presses of the WPS buttons for the 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks.

 

Regarding the overall router performance, we have obtained decent speeds on the 2.4GHz band and very good results on the 5GHz band, which is considerably less congested. The speed measured between two wired stations is average.

 

The Sitecom X6 N900 router can be found on the manufacturers’ website for about 139.99 Euros, which does not make it very affordable.

We would like to thank again to Sitecom for making this review possible!

does it pass the custom firmware test? Tomato, DDR-WRT or other?

The router is a bit too new and haven't seen so far the model listed on the custom firmware websites.
