Abstract

Wi-Fi 6 is the latest generation Wi-Fi technology that brings improvements in individual device and overall system throughput. Built upon more than 15 years experience in the WLAN market, Ruijie Networks Co., Ltd. developed a series of Wi-Fi 6 access point models to cover different application scenarios. Now, Wi-Fi 6 technology is coming to the home market where demand for Wi-Fi connectivity and bandwidth has surged. Today, It is not uncommon for homes to have dozens of devices connected to Wi-Fi at any given time. In addition to computers and smartphones, Smart TVs, thermostats, cameras, doorbells, lighting, sensors and more now have persistent Wi-Fi connections.

Ruijie commissioned Tolly to evaluate the performance of its Reyee (sub-brand) standalone and mesh Wi-Fi 6 home access points against similar models from NETGEAR and TP-Link. Tests included multiple user tests of up to 78 simultaneous users, single-client maximum performance tests, and signal coverage tests. Tests were run both at 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies.
