MSI Reveals New Networking Lineup for Online Gaming

[TheLostSwede]

MSI, a world leading gaming solution provider, proudly presents its new lineup of networking products—the RadiX AXE6600 WiFi 6E tri-band gaming router, the RadiX AX6600 WiFi 6 tri-band gaming router, and the AX1800 WiFi USB adapter. MSI aims to provide gamers with a home network that is ultra-fast, has low latency, and with no jitter.

Upgrade your gaming experience
The RadiX AXE6600 and RadiX AX6600 are powerful tri-band gaming routers that each can deliver combined speeds of up to 6600 Mbps. An integrated 1.8 GHz quad-core CPU from Qualcomm and advanced networking hardware has been designed to prevent jitter, reduce lag, lower ping, and sustain incredible speed for online gaming.




RadiX AXE6600 adopts WiFi 6E technology with high-speed 160 MHz channels on the virtually interference-free 6 GHz band that relieves network congestion. Compared to older technologies, WiFi 6E dramatically increases transfer performance and capacity to support bandwidth-hungry devices like gaming systems and AR/ VR entertainment.

QoS up and running out of box
AI QoS is a breakthrough in bandwidth management. It is an out-of-box solution that automatically prioritizes network traffic and dynamically adjusts bandwidth utilization. AI QoS comes with four preset modes, gaming, streaming, work from home, and AI-auto, that are easily toggle-able anytime for your needs. The AI QoS modes are indicated by the RGB lights on RadiX AXE6600 and further configuration can be performed from a web browser, the MSI Router app, or MSI Center software program.

Premium cooling design
Leveraging MSI's reputable experience in computer thermal designs, the RadiX series has the world's first gaming routers that feature heatpipes and graphene coated heatsinks for elevated cooling. These ensure these routers can provide stable and long-term service even under heavy traffic loads.

Seamless gaming network
MSI is dedicated to providing cutting edge solutions to gamers, and the MSI FIRST functionality in RadiX AXE6600 and RadiX AX6600 makes it easy to get more when connecting and accelerating MSI gaming devices together including desktops, laptops, motherboards, and the AX1800 WiFi USB adapter.

Manage your way
RadiX series gaming routers can have settings configured and traffic monitored through the web browser interface, MSI Router mobile app, or MSI Center for PC. The easy-to-use menus are accessible to users who are new to network configuration as well as more advanced users.

that pic msi............
I don't know

Yeah well I don't see an X on that borg space ship so msi clearly didn't copy anything.

That said, another spider looking router.

MSI doesn't have the best software. I'd be a bit nervous about spending that much on a crucial piece of equipment from a company with a dicey history. At least it's not as bad as Corsair software..

Did you at all read the review? The UI/UX is really good, especially compared to most of the competition.

Besides, the core software on routers, are always made by the chipset maker, unless the router runs OpenWRT or something similar, which isn't the case here.
As such, MSI has more or less just skinned whatever Qualcomm provided them with.

The bigger concern is updates, as if they don't offer regular updates, it's not worth getting their routers, as after a little while, they'll be targets for botnets and what not, as so many other routers that don't get regular updates are.

Congratulations? I wasn't aware that having a pretty UI means the software and firmware are good. And it's irrelevant if the chipset maker creates the base, the OEM still customizes it before shipping it. Plenty of room to break features or the device altogether by doing so.

Before being such a big mouth and getting defensive over someone else's article that has nothing to do with you , try thinking through what the other person is saying or follow up asking. You're not looking too bright after what you said.

Mr New Member, first of all, in case you missed it, I actually write news here. I have a 10+ year background as a tech journalist and I also happen to have worked for a company that designed and built their own routers, so I might know a thing or 20 on the subject of routers.

Coming here and being rude is also not going to get you any favours with the community here.

Having a good UI/UX is a great start, as most routers have an awful experience here and I actually talked to the reviewer (since I again, work here) about it and it's pretty clear that they didn't miss out any features or created any product breaking bugs while customising the UI.

I fully agree that their PC software is far from great and I can't stand their UEFI, but this is an entirely different product category and it seems like they've actually hired competent people making these products. By the way, I have also worked for MSI in the past, but I can't say I'm particularly partial to their products.
