If Frontier deploys 2 Gbps and made an oopsie in terms of speccing this out, expect to shell out some big bucks on a router lol.I'm with you. The retail router market is very confusing right now in terms of Ethernet speeds, probably won't fix itself out for another year or two. I'm hoping this Sagemcom either has built-in XGS-PON + 2.5G and higher LAN, or two 2.5 GB or higher ports for WAN and LAN. The documents hint that the transmit power is fairly high, so those coming from the G1100 and NVG468MQ(assuming this FAST399 is the router - edit: It's the FAST5290) should see a noticeable range improvement. The device also mentions no DFS support at the moment. It only lists results for the 3x3 2.4 GHz and 4x4 5 GHz, and the remaining 4 antennas for 6 GHz were untested it seems. I however cannot find test results for the new wireless band, so maybe it's not enabled or something yet. The FCC documents indicate that the device would be 3x3 AX on 2.4 GHz, and 4x4 AX on 5 GHz, and 4X4 AX on 6 GHz(which would suggest 6E). It's also classified as a "Wireless Home Router" than something differently, but sometimes APs can fall under this if they have router functionality in some way(but may not be enabled). However, it's possible this *is* the router, despite it being called an extender, since the label says it comes with basic FrontierXXXX SSIDs and device access codes like the routers normally do. Still looking to find what the router itself would be(hopefully one that would allow 2.5G over both WAN and LAN), but I did find this 'extender' device which seemed to be tri-band AX, which would suggest the router would also be tri-band AX. It seems like I found something that popped up on the FCC site over the past couple days. Nor did he know how to get on their customer-tester list."Įdit: I later discovered the router version of this below, shortly after writing this up. He said it has WiFi 6 but didn't know any other details. "A tech recently told me they're testing a new router with internal employees and some customers.
