MSI RadiX AX6600 WiFi 6 Gaming Router

How Much Does it Cost?

There are three models in the new MSI router range, the RadiX AX6600 which I showed you today, the slightly more gamer-looking AXE6600, and then the RadiX BE22000. However, keep in mind, the AX6600 is already what I would call a next-gen flagship router, as few people have the technologies in their home or office to utilise WiFi 6E, and even fewer WiFi 7, which is bleeding edge tech that I’d say is overkill for just about anyone.

The RadiX AXE6600 is expected to be £319, while the AX6600 is just £279. However, there’s also their AX1800 WiFi USB adaptor which is £49. We’ll provide retail links ASAP, they just weren’t live at the time of writing.

Overview

Which one of these is right for you? Well, that’s easy, it’s the RadiX AX6600 it’s all the router and more than 99.9% of people will ever need for their SMB, home office, or home. I run 5 PCs in this house, several consoles, and a plethora of phones, laptops, tablets, smart home gear, and a NAS, giving me roughly 60 network devices in total and the AX6600 is more than capable of keeping everything going full throttle, not that everything does go full throttle all at the same time anyway. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting the best performance from their gaming PC, consoles and more when it comes to cutting online latency.

As for the RadiX AXE6600, few devices support WiFi 6E right now, but some of the flagship motherboards of the last few months do, but unless you have other network devices and/or an internet connection speed way North of 1Gbps you’re unlikely to see any benefit. However, it also has RGB lighting on it, so for some, that alone is worth the extra investment, because it looks pretty swag.

The RadiX BE22000 is basically for those living in the future, super high-end but again, diminishing returns unless you have compatible devices. However, I could see the appeal of future-proofing for the next 5 years+.

MSI Routers

This may be the first time MSI got into the networking market, but it looks like they’re playing a strong game. The AX6600 is one of the best routers I’ve ever used, and it’s by far the easiest and smoothest setup process I’ve ever had too. If you’re looking to get the best from your home network, it’s certainly ticking all the right boxes. However, if this is where MSI is starting, I can’t wait to see them push even further with more routers in the future.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
