HELP: RE650 vs RE605X range and performance comparision
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Hi,
I received a new 1Gbs Fiber internet connection that came with a a WIFI 6 router called Calix GigaSpire BLAST u6.1.
I want to extend the wifi signal to a tiny home on the property that os ~75feet away. I do not have electric power connected between the buildings, both are directly connected to the Main meter box. The tiny home has about 15 wifi devices, 11 x 2.4g IoT devices, about 4 x 5g devices.
I have an RE650 today. HW V1 and FW 1.0.9 Build 20201112 Rel. 66232. I have successfully setup this configuration. Every so often the 2.4g connection between the router and extender goes offline. I dont know why this happens. (any comments here is also appreciated) The 5ghz remain stable. I am not sure why this happens, as the tether app says 2.4 connection is "great" and the 5g is "good"
When 2.4g is working, i can usually get 20Mb/s speed. It can run 2K streaming but buffers on 4k. The 5g usually gets 180-200 Mb/s. and performs very well.
My question is, will i get range or performance benefits by upgrading to the Wifi 6 RE605X? if so, what could or should i expect?
