Advice on purchasing the AXE16000

[EmperorJ]

Hi 

I just upgraded my internet to 4gbps speed from the ISP. It comes into my house via a fiber cable and a Nokia ONT XS-010X-Q connects with the ISP. This device has a 10GE output port. The ISP also gave a router, but it drops the WiFi quite often and only support up to WiFi 6, so I want to upgrade it. 

I have been reading a lot of articles and reviews on the AXE16000, but for me it’s still not 100% clear what I could expect from the WiFi 6E speeds on WiFi 6E enabled devices.

It seems I can setup a 10GE port on the AXE16000 as a WAN port and connect the Nokia ONT to that port for the best results.

Does anyone have any experience or stats they can share? Thanks!

Apparently the regulator in the EU is called ETSI, and I found this in their latest publication:

They mention their plans for F5G Advanced (including WiFi 7) are part of release 3 (2023-2024H1) and release 4 (2024H2-2025).

See link: ETSI F5G 2023-11 (mainly chapter 7.1.2 and 8.2)

Not sure what to make of that, it is all quite vague in my opinion.

Thanks for correcting me.  I don’t appear to be welcome on the etsi webpages but I was able to open the .pdf upon 2nd attempt.  It appears ETSI says the European governing body is the ECC.  🤷‍

Hi, hope you enjoyed CES2024! Happy to see the WiFi Alliance is starting certification for WiFi 7. Unfortunately don’t see any of the discussed options in their list yet, just sharing it here as FYI:

There are two certified products:  TP-Link BE800 and Deco BE85.  That is all I know as of now…
