Thy LAN has run, it will be fun, on the couch as it is up stairs.

hollow be thy port

Cable's unplugged bro

This is definitely the way

If they also crawled around my living room floor I would probably buy two and make them fight each other over AP privileges. May the strongest signal win.

I don't think that is true for Wi-Fi 6 routers. Are there any open firmwares for those? Those bastards at TP-Link removed features after a firmware update and I no longer have any visibility to anything that is going on my network. It will be relegated to access point soon, if I don't chuck it at a wall in spite, after I figure this opnsense thing out.

That's technically "rounded soft box" It's completely round.

Isn't that the Star Wars Imperial shuttle after it's landed?

looks like a manta ray

The hawk wifi's naturally beat the spider wifi's signal noise making it superior.

Careful it doesn't Wi-fly away when you leave a window open

I love having Google Fiber, they gave me a modem with one open RJ-45 port and said "have fun with the other side of this network".

There are total bypass options now to completely remove their hardware from your network using an ONT that lets you clone the att device serial number. Just a heads up.

Depends on your firmware. You can install FreshTomato firmware on these things and enjoy a much better experience with many more features and higher stability.

The one on the right is ASUS, they make pretty good quality hardware and software and don't spy on you, at least for what concerns routers.

Your description makes me want to have a Stargate shaped one, where the status lights are the dialing symbols around the ring.

Science!

Short answer no.

Long answer: Mimo designs benefit from different array configurations with known and well placed antenna spacing. So once you hit "good enough" there isn't much of a benefit... But the loosy Goosy any direction antennas above the Xtreme routers... No, not at all

Best guess: each antenna is optimized for a different carrier frequency and splitting traffic between antennae allows the designer to use multiple, lower-cost parts on each data stream rather than a single, higher-cost part that can handle one antenna dealing with all the traffic.

Multiple antennae carrying the same frequency can make a difference, but consumer electronics where the end user has control over the angle of the Antennas likely isn't precise enough to make use of the potential benefits.

If the antennae were very precisely positioned and had very precise phase offset, the full array could be used to have very tight control over polarization...which really doesn't matter in a home wifi environment.

OR! It's just for looks.

Depends if they can be mapped to different channels/frequencies, then it’s possible you get more throughput assuming there isn’t some bottleneck elsewhere. afaik more antennae for the same connection, at essentially the same location, doesn’t make a difference

I have both. The white soft one is Comcast's shit forced into bridge mode, and the satanic altar is mine. Had to take their modem/gateway to get unlimited data from them.
