EnGenius Wi-Fi 6 [EWS356-FIT] Dual Band AX3000 | Cloud & App & OnPrem Control Options | WPA3, MU-MIMO, Mesh & Seamless Roaming - Power Adapter not Included.

This is a review for the AX3000 (EWS356-Fit). This unit made me stop my bad habit of making cheap-routers-stuck-in-AP-mode-with-cables-everywhere work for my home network. I was previously holding out for a UniFi AP, but I saw these pop-up seemingly out of nowhere and for literally half the cost. It's a little slow to fully broadcast from a cold-boot; not more than 3-5 minutes each time, but noticeable. This is probably either the cheap switch I'm using, the fact that it's running in PoE-mode, or some other experience issue. But once it's up, the signal has no issue reaching the floor below it and my phone as I stand in the driveway. The menu is VERY simple and easy to work with, and the level of control compared to normal consumer hardware that I've just "made work" in the past is VERY nice. Keeping the unit in the same room that the previous access point it was replacing in, I saw a download speed increase of 120 Mbps. I am no longer in the "I don't care about the newest 802.11" crowd. As others have said; there isn't really a good way to flush-mount the thing without modifying the included T-Rails. The gap (for me) was about ~1/2", maybe a little less. It was not a deal breaker for me, but it's worth pointing out. I will definitely be getting at least one more to test the mesh capabilities. Strongly recommend.

I've only had these installed for 18 hours but I can say, so far, quite satisfied with them. 2600 sq ft split level home. Background: I grew tired of netgear not updating my Orbi units for the web interface, where they no longer can do a SSL key exchange for the web interface on updated browsers. Pretty lame Netgear for a year and a half old system. I put those in AP mode and used my Ubiquity EdgeRouter to handle firewall and routing and my pihole to hand out DHCP, I put those Orbis in AP mode. Streaming from my phones and smart devices suffered big time. It's almost like AP mode broke the mesh of the orbi and satellite. SO I did a little research and I already have a POE Switch so I found these. Installation: Installing was a breeze. The included mounts are good enough for most situations. I opted for using the App for setup, but I do like the fact that these can operate Stand-alone in case the app dies or this company goes away. I set up my SSIDs as I had them on my Orbi, and after about 10 minutes or so everything was working at speeds I was used to. Difficulties: The App's push settings to the APs take a bit of time, and the app logs in every time you open it. I don't foresee me having to manage these often since it's just my home network, but minor tweaks may be in order to 5ghz channels. Firmware updates are defaulted to Sundays at 2am, but it would be nice to force updates when I want. Overall: These are providing a much better streaming experience than my Orbi setup in AP mode, and nearly identical when the Orbis were running the show themselves. If anything, these APs give me more control and flexibility. I'll update this review if these APs prove ot be unreliable, but so far, I'm happy!

I'm upgrading from a tenda i24 ac1200. As an IT person of 30 years, setting up this upgraded access point with the mobile app is a nightmare. AP was non responsive, really slow to boot up or make any changes, can't assign static ip and throughout was the same as my old ac1200 (2hrn it finally connects) while I'm sitting 2 feet away from it. Then I'd lose all local wifi connectivity to it. The mobile app shows I'm still connected to it via cloud though. The bottom of the unit gets really hot from literally no use. The designers must be Apple engineer rejects because while the device looks sleek like a MacBook, there are very little vents to allow heat to dissipate. That might be the reason the device is not functioning properly. Most importantly, the mobile app that controls the device can't even do a chat with support (it has this feature in it). And support is open 7a-3pm Pacific time. Both units are going back to Amazon. I'm just going to get the i29 ax3000 access point from Tenda.

This WAP works as promised and, using the app, was easy to set up in a basic configuration. Speed is good and it doesn't drop connections in my environment. Having said that, the setup app isn't really designed for walking you through the most common use for a WAP, that of creating a multi-access point single-SSID network. I set it up using the default SSIDs and it works but I found that it wasn't clear how to get what I wanted. A little Google research got me what I needed to know (configure your router and the WAP to use a static IP address) and then use the same SSID name/password for each WAP installed.

The EnGenius EWS356-FIT is a remarkable Wi-Fi 6 access point that delivers impressive performance, easy setup, affordable pricing, and smooth coverage. I experienced a significant boost in network speed and stability, making it perfect for streaming, gaming, and video conferences. Setting it up was a breeze thanks to the user-friendly app, and the affordable price makes it a smart investment. The access point's powerful signal strength and intelligent beamforming ensure seamless coverage throughout my home, eliminating any dead zones. If you're looking for a high-performance, cost-effective Wi-Fi upgrade, the EWS356-FIT is an excellent choice.

This access point delivers fantastic Wi-Fi 6 speeds and a strong, reliable connection. Setup was straightforward, and I appreciate the flexibility of cloud, app, and on-prem control. Features like WPA3, MU-MIMO, mesh, and seamless roaming make this a top-notch choice for anyone looking to upgrade their wireless network. Highly recommended!

This is my first WiFi 6 product from EnGenius. I spotted their access points in my local coffee shops and restaurants recently, and it seems to be very reliable. I decided to give it a shot, and it did not disappoint me. The setup is very simple and straight forward. Their app makes managing the device extremely easy. My AP is up and running over the weekend, and the connection has been very smooth. This is a very well-designed networking device for consumers. Strongly recommend to anyone who is looking for a new AP

I bought 6 of these WAPs for install in a 5,400 sq ft home. All devices have home runs to an Engenius POE switch, with the exception of one which is running in mesh mode. I see a 40% performance drop from my ISP gateway to the hardwired WAPs. If I connect directly to the ISP gateway's wifi, I see well over 1Gbps, when I connect to any of the hardwired WAPs, I'm lucky to see 600Mbps, often it's half of that. The unit running in mesh has clear line of sight (45ft) to another hardwired WAP. I only allow it to recieve mesh from the WAP that is line of sight to it. I can barely get 50Mbps when connecting though this mesh WAP. The performance hit on these devices is steep. I regret my investment into this hardware. Highly recommend getting a stronger budget and buying better equipment from a different manufacturer. I have tried to ask for support from Enginus support many times, but they just ghost me. It's ridiculous. Learn from my mistakes and don't buy this garbage.

Works very well👍🤗.
