WiFi 6 mesh?

[michael_JCWS]

Is it worth looking at these yet? Trying to decide between a deco X60 or M9. M9 have a dedicated backhall channel, but the X60 is WiFi6

Cheers

I'm all ears as well..

Future proof and I should be able to get Virgin 1GB soon. I also thought that WiFi 6 also meant less interference

[dmsims]

Are you suffering from interference ?

I am on Virgin 200/20 and I have never thought it was slow

Currently have a deco M5 mesh, so virgin hub just in modem mode. Struggling with connective from some of the discs, the hub and master disc are showing a speed of 378.

You mentioned this on the other thread. The M5 units are pretty good (I have six), so what's the actual problem? Not getting enough range? Not enough speed at long distance? Do you have ethernet between the units for backhaul?

I think very few people /need/ "wifi 6" at this stage.

I’ve got 4 M5’s, for what ever reason I’m getting non performant connection e.g basic browsing taking and age while sitting on the sofa. I have a disc hardwired to my sky Q box another hardwired to my sky mini the last to a PS4

the sky mini is temperamental being hardwired to the M5, buffering or just not working at all.

So there is something a miss somewhere, I’m just not sure where. I’ve a company round next week to carry out a WiFi survey to see if there are issues I’ve not spotted.

I was looking at the M9’s due to the separate backhall and the X60 due to WiFi 6, our phones and laptops are 802.11AX as will the PS5, so it seemed like a good option
