MacBook connects to the RE705X instantly and gets a consistent 600 down. (By the way, connecting the MacBook to the XB7 directly with ethernet gets me about 900 down.) So I'm returning the Deco XE75 Pro kit. And I ordered another RE705X for the other location in the house. Maybe I'll need to have three SIDs instead of a single "mesh" one.

Today I'll be introducing the dplink AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 repeater RE705x. I previously reviewed the RE700X on my blog, but the RE705x I'm introducing today has an external antenna. The specifications of these two repeaters are almost identical, and I've also brought out the package for the 700X. Both are Wi-Fi 6 repeaters that support speeds of 1402 Mbps on 5GHz and 574 Mbps on 2.4GHz.
