SON's main feature is called band steering. To clarify your terms, "meshing" in your context probably means a wirelessly backhauled wireless network. E3200 is capable of meshing with G3100 through the hidden 5Ghz band, hence G3100 is called a tri-band router. I won't recommend the G3100-E3200 SON provide mesh capabilities or how does the navigation from extender to extender work when you roam around the house? If none of the above condition applies to you. OR 3) You has a G3100 (either rented or bought, expensive) already and would like to extend the network wirelessly with an E3200. 2) You need to use MoCA 2.5 (2.5Gbps throughput) as your network bone. I would recommend G3100 and E3200 when 1) You need WiFi 6 802.11ax for 650Mbps+ wireless download speed. To get 1Gps wired speed on WCB6200Q, you need a MoCA 2.0 bonded adapter, such as an Actiontec ECB6200 or ECB5240M (Fios Network Adapter). It should be way overkill for wireless devices. Your mobile phone is typically a 2 x 2 MIMO wireless configuration. It should theoretically achieve a throughput of 1300Mbps. It has 6 antennas (4 on 5GHz and 2 on 2.4GHz). For purely expanding coverage, I would recommend having multiple extenders. When WCB6200Q connects with G1100 through MoCA, your throughput is as slow as the slowest standard (500Mbps). WCB6200Q's MoCA 2.0 is bonded and is capped at 1Gbps. G1100's MoCA 2.0 is unbonded and is capped at 500Mbps (I see 550Mbps+ in testing).
#ACTIONTEC WCB6200Q UPGRADE#
First of all, I suggest you to open a new thread for more I want to upgrade the WCB6200 (my endpoints) to allow for higher bandwidth and coverage.Īre your WCB6200Q connected to G1100 via MoCA? If so, I need to clarify the bottleneck to you.
