X6S Extender – Question on the "Dedicated 1.7 gbps WiFi Link" and also AP mode?
I really like the FastLane3 concept - it looks like a great way to extend WiFi coverage. I do have two questions... 1. Clarification on the dedicated WiFi link. I see this on the launch page: Nighthawk X6S is the most advanced Tri-band WiFi extender that includes a Dedicated 1.7Gbps WiFi Link for extending internet speeds to your devices. I am guessing that this means that the Band 3 radio is dedicated in the extender. But I think that means that the band itself would only be dedicated if the user also dedicates it in the main router (for instance by giving it a SSID that the wifi clients don't use). Is that the case? 2. Can I use the Band 3 radio for client connections when the X6S is in AP mode? Or can it only used for backhaul?Solved789Views0likes1Comment
X6S Extender – Any Benefit with Multiple X6S Range Extenders?
If I were to have multiple X6S Range Extenders installed in a house/building would each seperate X6S talk with eachother to get better speeds? I see that on the product page that it has a dedicated WIFI link connecting to the ISP Gateway/Router. Let's say I had another X6S further in my house that is no where near the ISP Gateway/Router, will the second X6S communicate with the first X6S? It may seem overkill in a small home/business but I would love the highest speed possible for each room/office.Solved1.9KViews1like1CommentX6S Extender – Will my WiFi work around the block?
I see that the Nighthawk X6S has a Dedicated WiFi Link to router and avoids cutting the extended WiFi bandwidth in half. But I am unsure what this means? And how far can The AWESOME Nighthawk X6S reach while I walk around the block?Solved1.2KViews0likes2Comments
