For the Wi-Fi 6 router shootout the ZTE H3601-P, Grandstream GWN7062 and TP-Link EX511 delivered exceptional results for both LAN and Wi-Fi tests.
For the Wi-Fi 5 router shootout, the Mercusys MR50G took first prize in both Wi-Fi and LAN testing.
Our conclusion: Due to the performance differences being very small in some cases, ISPs should remember to also consider the following factors when selecting their high-bandwidth Wi-Fi router solution.
- Ease of management – all routers offer central management either through an ACS solution or Cloud Management in the case of Grandstream.
- Cost Efficiency – the price point of the router vs. performance is something that needs to be taken into consideration, not forgetting the costs associated with support calls.
- Ease of Mesh capability – Most devices support Mesh or the new EasyMesh protocol allowing the devices to mesh with 3rd party units, which will make expanding the customer’s Wi-Fi range simple. When Mesh is required, it’s advisable to use a manageable mesh system that is easily connected with minimal remote support intervention.
- Having a reliable local distribution partner is paramount to delivering great customer service. With stock availability, financing options, fair and stable pricing, and reliable pre and post-sale support, it allows ISPs to focus on their core business.
