I've been using the EnGenius EWS356-FIT for about 3 months now, and it's completely transformed my home network. The dual-band Wi-Fi 6 performance is noticeably faster than my old router - my 4K streaming no longer buffers even when three people are video calling simultaneously.
The setup was surprisingly straightforward using their mobile app. I particularly love the Band Steering feature that automatically assigns devices to optimal frequencies. My smart home gadgets stay on 2.4GHz while our phones and laptops enjoy the blazing fast 5GHz band without any manual switching.
Placement matters with this AP - ceiling mounting gave me about 30% better coverage than wall mounting in my two-story house. The compact design blends in nicely, though I wish the ceiling mount was more flush.
What really impresses me is the reliability. Unlike consumer-grade routers that need frequent reboots, this unit has been rock solid since installation. The real-time monitoring through the app gives me peace of mind knowing exactly what's happening with my network.
The only hiccup? The initial configuration requires some networking know-how - it's not quite plug-and-play like consumer routers. But once set up, it performs like enterprise-grade hardware at a very reasonable price point.
