After all, routers should be updated in a few years.
My home Wi-Fi mainly uses the entry mesh Wi-Fi system that jumped at the time when mesh was in fashion.
In fact, this (mesh) is insanely convenient! Don't connect to Wi-Fi anywhere in your house! I was impressed, but recently I haven't been able to connect to a nearby AP, and I'm in a good mood. Also, when the number of simultaneous connections increases, the transfer tends to be clogged, and when operating the iPhone or iPad during remote play of PS5, the transfer bit rate dropped extremely. It feels like the processing capacity is not enough.
So I decided to take the plunge and separate the router for games and others. I bought the standard Buffalo Wi-Fi 6 compatible router "WSR-5400AX6S-MB".
The "WSR-5400AX6S-MB" is a middle class that costs around 15,000 yen among Buffalo's Wi-Fi 6 compatible routers.
Anyway, I could have chosen a higher-end model with stronger radio waves, but in conclusion, this was enough. In the study where the router is installed, in the bedroom next door, you can firmly grasp the radio waves and perform high-speed communication (execution speed around 700 Mbps), and even if YouTube or Netflix is spilled on other devices, remote play will not be interrupted.
It feels as stable as connecting with a wired LAN.
In this area, the processing power of the router itself will be different, and Wi-Fi 6 may have a feature that it is strong against multi-unit communication with low latency. However, thanks to the drastic addition of the router, the time spent playing games secretly in remote play at midnight becomes insanely comfortable, and it tends to be a mess at night.
As a result of adding routers mainly for games in this way, I am very satisfied, but in fact, Buffalo's Wi-Fi 6 compatible routers such as this "WSR-5400AX6S-MB" are updated with mesh Wi-Fi. It has been announced that it will be compatible with.
The number of Wi-Fi 6 compatible devices has increased, and eventually it would be nice to install another one in the living room and completely switch to the mesh system!
I was thinking, but the firmware update for the mesh of the "WSR-5400AX" series has been postponed from July to September 2021, and September is about to end. There is no sound.
Buffalo? I'm waiting for the mesh, right? Will you definitely replace one? What!
