Edimax BR-6216mg MIMO XR Router Review

As we get more computers in our homes, the need for an easy way to connect them all to the Internet increases. While the best solution is to hook them all up to a router or switch through ethernet cables, it requires the user to have cables going around the house. If you can put the cables inside the walls there is no problem but in many houses, like mine, it is not possible which means cables outside the wall. When I suggested to my wife that we should wire up the whole house she gave me a cold stare and made it clear in no uncertain terms that this was not an option. And to be honest, she does have a point. While you do not care how it looks in an office, having cables running around the house outside the walls is not exactly pretty regardless how much you try to hide them.

The obvious solution for a house where you cannot install ethernet cables in all rooms is to use a wireless solution. Once limited in both range and performance, wireless connections today promise improvements in both areas. Today we review a router from Edimax which uses MIMO-technology to increase the range of its signal.
