Review on 🏠 Enhance Your Home Network with the ARRIS SURFboard mAX Tri-band Mesh Wi-Fi 6 System - AX6600 by Wayde Lash

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Wifi 6 Mesh is great

I received this router to pair with an Arris SB8200 modem which upgraded my previous Arris modem to a Linksys WiFi 5 router. My old setup can give me around 450Mbps downloads at 5.0GHz. This new setup gives me 533 Mbps when I'm near the unit and about 30 Mbps in front of (outside) my 2500m2. ft. I'm happy with the speeds. I also have many devices, more than the photo I shared. I still have about 10 devices to set up. The above is enough to set this up. I'm not that techie so I slowly figured it out, made all the connections and followed the instructions. The trick here is to download the app before turning off the old Wi-Fi system. I also encountered an error setting up Wi-Fi. I don't even know how to work around the error. I checked my Samsung S20+ settings, turned WiFi off, turned it back on and connected to the router (no internet). Then somehow it worked and I got the internet. So I started setting up all the devices. which I could not complete in 1 night. Despite the failure, I'm happy with the result. I have good internet speed, no dead zones. I used to have a blind spot in front of the house where the ring is. So half the time I couldn't see what the ring sees.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Out of fashion
