After months of testing, Orange’s new WiFi 6 repeater was able to see daylight on April 8th.
Almost a year and a half after unwrapping him Live box 5 “Smart” WiFi 5, Orange launches new WiFi 6 repeater by April 8thAllophorbite.
Revealed last October, This device has 4 antennas for reception and 4 for transmission, which aims to overcome the shortcomings of the ISP box by greatly enhancing the WiFi network among Orange subscribers;
Among the major innovations is the opportunity to offer WiFi 6 at home. For this, it is necessary to connect the repeater directly to the box on the Ethernet on the 1Gb / s port, thus cutting off its WiFi to create a new network. Another possibility is to use a repeater on a regular basis to extend home coverage. In this case, WiFi 6 cannot be used.
The new device, which is the result of a test program called “Proxima”, will replace the existing WiFi repeater for existing operator subscribers. According to our colleagues, Up or Jet customers can use it for free if they pay a commission of 10. In this case, Orange is the owner of the device. It can be purchased for 89 of.
As a reminder, Bouygues Telecom and SFR only offer Wi-Fi 6, unlike the free and orange in their latest generation box.
