Now let's look at the throughput I was able to measure using several types of client devices. For the 5 GHz radio band, I used a laptop equipped with an Intel AX200. As a WiFi 6 client, another laptop with an Intel 8265 and a Pixel 2 XL smartphone for WiFi 5 client devices. As for the WiFi 6E client, I used a PC equipped with a TP-Link TX3000E adapter.

Upstream, I saw that throughput easily broke through georgia telegram data 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. This is because both were using 160 MHz of channel bandwidth, and there wasn’t much interference to ruin things.

We can see this in the signal attenuation graph, which also shows that the measured -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 all but one client, while at -86dB we see that WiFi 6E can barely offer a couple of megabytes.
