TP-Link launches 6E routers

Mesh and meshless

TP-Link announced it will launch two 6E mesh systems and two 6E standalone routers.

For those who came in late, the letter E after the number 6 is rather important. The standard uses the 6GHz band -- a much less crowded frequency compared to 2.4GHz or 5GHz. This extra bandwidth, lower latency, and reduced congestion makes Wi-Fi 6E so sexy and probably indicates we should get out more.

While the jury is still out on the need for mesh, which is several access points are used to reduce internet dead spots, the fact that TP-Link are offering both flavours is all good.

TP-Link will launch the mesh based Deco X96 (AX7800) and Deco X76 Plus (AX5400). Both are tri-band 6E systems, but the former offers a max combined speed of 7,800Mbps while the latter provides 5,400Mbps. The Deco X76 Plus is can work as a smart hub, while the faster X96 does not.
