Wi-Fi 6 compatible high-performance model "Aterm WX6000HP"

　The Wi-Fi router is not something to buy.However, the long-lasting IEEE802.11ac era has shifted to the 11ax era, commonly known as Wi-Fi 6.Considering the situation where the latest smartphones and notebook PCs are supporting Wi-Fi 6 one after another, those who have poor condition of Wi-Fi router at home and those who are dissatisfied with the speed, even if they buy a new one.Isn't that good?

　The Wi-Fi router is not something to buy a new product immediately like a smartphone, so you should choose a product with a view to the future.So, this time, I will introduce NEC's "Aterm WX6000HP".

The WAN side is compatible with 10Gbps

"Aterm WX6000HP" is a slim and relatively compact body with built -in antenna.

　This product is compatible with the tribbing, with two 5GHz bands, up to 4804 Mbps and 2.4GHz band 1147Mbps, which is quite high spec model.The number of antennas is 8 × 8 for two 5GHz bands, 4 × 4 in the 2.4GHz band, and up to 8 and four units are possible.It also corresponds to the beam forming that adjusts the radio waves to make the optimal communication state (the device side is also necessary), and the specification is difficult to slow down and a stable communication is made.

　The appearance is refreshing because the antenna is built in, and the size is about 51.5 (W) x 215 (d) x 200 (H), so there is no problem with the installation location.The attached stand can be attached to the bottom and side, so it can be installed on the wall.

If the stand to be attached to the bottom is attached to the side, a wall is possible.

　Attention is that the WAN side of the LAN port is compatible with 10Gbps.It is a bit disappointing that the four LAN side is 1Gbps, but recently the number of lines of 1Gbps or more has increased, and if the upper side is thick, it will not be stagnant even if multiple units are communicated simultaneously.Since the Wi-Fi side can exceed 1Gbps, if you are considering increasing the line in the future, it would be safe for a while if you introduce this product.

Each port is placed on the back of the house.The WAN port is compatible with 10Gbps.The 4 ports of LAN are 1Gbps.

　In addition, high -power communication is possible by optimizing noise measures and control tuning.Recently, by placing multiple access points, some products have tried to cover a wide range, but this product should be able to cover a wide range of detached houses.

　In addition, with the "QOS (Quality of Service)" function that gives priority to communication and the type that is connected by the IPv6 method, the "IPv6 HIGH SPEED" function is equipped that enables more content downloading content.。Users who contract with IPv6 connection can communicate comfortably.

Easy setting with NFC

Because it is a refreshing design, it does not feel uncomfortable even if you put it in a noticeable place.

　Immediately, I installed it at home and used it.This time, this product is connected as an access point.It can be switched with a switch that can be selected on the back or access point mode on the back.If the existing router is compatible with "Hikari Telephone" or a built-in optical line, it is best to set it as an access point and connect it if it is used as a Wi-Fi router.If you want to use the router function, you need to make the existing router in bridge mode.

　The setting is easy, just connect the power to the WAN.There are three ways to set on a smartphone, etc., in addition to manual input, one is a QR code, and the other is the WPS button.And the other is NFC.

　QR code and WPS are no longer a general setting method, but NFC is rare.It is necessary to install a dedicated application, but you can set Wi-Fi simply by holding it over the included NFC tag.In the case of iOS, it takes a lot of time than Android smartphones, such as downloading the profile, but it is easier than hand -input, and if the Internet connection is required, it will be set as it is.。In particular, if you do not change the SSID or the password, you do not need to tweak the settings.

The bundled sheet has an NFC tag, and you can recognize it simply by holding the app after installing it.The QR code is also on the same sheet.

If you access the router via a browser, you can set up various settings after logging in with your ID and password.

No speed was seen even in a remote place

　Next, I checked the speed using SpeedTest.net.Measured in the living room on the second floor where this product was installed, about 6m ahead of the two walls, two walls, and a room on the first floor diagonally below the living room.The measured device is the iPhone 11 Pro that supports Wi-Fi 6.The results are as you can see.

As a result of measurement with a wired LAM connection PC.Recently, the descent is slow depending on the time of day.

The result in the living room where the router was installed.The descent is about 70%for the wired.

Results in two walls separated.The result is comparable to the living room.If this is the same floor, it will be connected at a speed that does not change much.

If the floor was different, the climb dropped considerably, but the descent was not so depressed.Even in detached houses, it seems to be covered with one product.

　The value of the actual internet line is also listed, and the value at the time of wired LAN connection is also posted, but please note that the line speed on the descending tend to be slow recently.In addition, the house is made of a lightweight iron frame and has a metal in the wall, so we should also consider that the radio wave has a strict structure.

　The descent is only less than 400Mbps, but it is about 277Mbps and 70%in the living room.The climb was 611 Mbps, about 82%for 747Mbps.However, even if measured in a bedroom 6m away, it is almost the same result.Normally, the speed is reduced, but it is surprising that it can be maintained.

　The antenna display that indicates the strength of the radio wave is also a full-fledged router that is usually used, but one is missing, so the power of Wi-Fi 6 is effective.Maybe.

　On the first floor, the descent drops to about 220MPBS, about 220 MPBs, and the uphill is about 38%, but it still keeps 200 Mbps or more.Usually, only the 100Mbps range comes out, so even if the floor is different, it can be said that it is quite good.

　I also measured the NURO optical line used in the office.Here, when measured by a wired connection, it records nearly 950Mbps, which is almost the limit of Gigabit LAN.When measured using the iPhone 11 Pro at a point about 1.5m away from the router, the descent was about 836Mbps.Approximately 89%compared to wired connection, it was quite good.

When a wired connection is made with NURO Hikari (2Gbps) in the office.Although it is a 2Gbps line, the optical line terminal is built into NURO's router, so it is actually 1Gbps.

Compared to wired connection, the descent is connected at a speed as much as the same.If it is not Wi-Fi 6, this will not happen.

Consider this product in anticipation of the future

　In this way, this product can be fully exerted with this one unit even in a detached house.The actual selling price is a little expensive, around 34,000 yen, but considering that the WAN side is compatible with 10Gbps, the range that can be reached at high speed, and the number of devices that can be communicated at the same time are 8, so rather.Isn't it better than other high -spec routers?

　Recently, many devices such as home appliances and smart speakers are connected to Wi-Fi.Naturally, the family should have one smartphone and a PC per person.In the future, if you have a variety of devices in the future, you should choose a router with this kind of specifications.
