Upstream, I saw that throughput easily broke through the gigabit limit, and as you can see, WiFi 6E and WiFi 6 clients were able to offer very similar performance, at least close to the wireless router. That’s because both were using 160 MHz of channel bandwidth, and there wasn’t much interference to mess things up.

We can see this in the signal attenuation graph, -86dB will still allow the two aforementioned client devices to be around 100Mbps. Downstream, the WiFi 6 client did a little better, which is interesting, but overall it’s decent performance.

As for range, we need to look at the signal attenuation graph again, which shows that at -71dB we get well over 100Mbps on job function email list all but one client, while at -86dB we see that WiFi 6E can barely offer a couple of megabytes.

Other clients did much better. Compared to other wireless routers I’ve tested so far, when using 160MHz channel width, the RT-AXE7800 is pretty close to the top, between the RT-AX86U Pro and the GT-AX6000.

Using 80MHz channel bandwidth the results are a little less impressive, but on the other hand they are over 900Mbps so I won’t most beautiful contact fund complain too much.

Finally, let’s take a look at the long-term performance overview and get an idea of ​​the throughput consistency. Before we go any further, I should mention that it takes a very long time to detect the 6GHz radio, and I found that disabling some settings like MU-MIMO or OFDMA and then re-enabling them helped the client see the network a little faster, in about a couple of minutes.

Wireless Test (2.4GHz)
We also need to discuss the performance of the 2.4GHz network because we need to use it with older devices, especially anything that fresh list falls into the smart device category.

Using the WiFi 6 client we see very good results, and when compared to other wireless routers I have tested so far we see that the ASUS RT-AXE7800 is somewhere in the middle.
