WAX620 or WAX615

Hello Tony,
Grab the WAX615 Data Sheet which includes some comparisons with the WAX610 and WAX620. Standing out on the WAX615 is the fact the 5 GHz radio is supporting 160 MHz bandwidth on 2x2. Its offering blazing 2400Mbps on 5 GHz, without the requirement for a capable (and rare!) 4x4 client. Small drawback is the 2.4 GHz radio which is "just" 600Mbps (mathematically exact it's slightly less than 575Mbps) similar to the WAX610) but sufficient for most 2.4 GHz usage, being in the IoT arena, or in the garden coverage. Considering many 2.4 GHz clients are note full AX, so don't make use of 4096-QAM, it's usage is typically more connectivity and availability area than in the highest speed on the 2.4 GHz band.
Wish you a wonderful Sunday evening!
