Ok, i know this may sound stupid but i have a question… Here where i live, Wi-Fi 6E routers basically doesn’t exist OR they are too expensive to buy, BUT a simple Wi-Fi 6E card is way, waaay cheaper. So my question is this (please bear with me)…

Let’s suppose i buy a laptop board (300 moneys here), and then i install a Wi-Fi 6E m2 card in it, and then i install 2 of those PCIE extension cards with the antennas innit (around 20 moneys)… It would be better or worse than the average and expensive Wi-Fi 6E and why?

Is it possible to make it better than the average wifi6e router?

Please, educate me (like i am 5yo if possible)

    I’m not on the latest wifi standard, but I can still get close to 1 Gigabit on wifi6, as both my AP and receiver are 4x4. I’d rather have a 4x4 wifi 6 than a 2x2 wifi 6e. (4 steams of data vs 2 streams)
    So you might want to look at that as well when shopping and make sure one isn’t cheaper because they cut corners on that!
