We reviewed the ECW336 Cloud Managed Indoor Wireless Access Point from EnGenius. This very impressive AP is now featured with the 6 GHz band, as it is WIFI6E compatible. This is an easy-to-use access point that you connect to your internal network. It includes 802.11ax technology, such as OFDMA, MU-MIMO, and spatial reuse, to improve the best Wi-Fi experience.

@James Frazer : I had the same question so I googled it. North of €950 here in France. Which is just astronomical....

@Hilbert Hagedoorn
Are those tests really done with a client with 2x2 streams (or more if available), 160mhz channel width and QAM-1024? Somehow the results you get sound as if either the wireless chip or the client's other hardware cannot cope with the speeds.

I know you would never get 100% of the advertised performance, yet about 1200Mbit/s (peak) out of advertised 2400/4800 is a bit lousy for that price tag to be honest. I am almost sure there is an error hidden somewhere.

What device and what wireless chipset or 3rd party card do you use to test? Maybe I overread it, but I cannot find it in the review.
