Review on Refurbished Edimax BR-6478AC V2 AC1200 Gigabit Dual-Band Wi-Fi Router/Range Extender/AP/Bridge/WISP with USB Port and VPN - White by Philip Wagner

0GHz channels have faster speed and better quality of service

I use this in WISP mode, mainly to connect to Tengo internet at RV parks. It connects to 2.4GHz or 5.0GHz hotspots so you can choose. I use 5.0GHz connections whenever possible because 1) it avoids the common channel congestion that is common with 2.4GHz, and 2) 5.0GHz channels have faster speeds with better quality of service. The local Wi-Fi network created by this device also supports both 5.0 and 2.4. GHz connections. So new devices can connect at 5.0GHz while older devices like printers can still connect at 2.4GHz. Our laptops, tablets, phones, DirectV, Roku, Revain Echo and our printer connect to Edimax. Edimax establishes a WiFi connection per campsite. In the case of Tengo Internet, where a coupon code is usually required, all our devices can use the same coupon code because the coupon is linked to the MAC address of the Edimax router and not to our individual devices. The connection is fast, and more importantly, data transfer between outbound and inbound traffic is fast. Edimax provides fast and prompt customer service. Compared to many well-known routers I've tried, Edimax is easier to install and configure. I can't say it's easy, but it's very good compared to others. The instruction manual is well written compared to others. At the current price I think this router is amazing.
