Upgrading my laptop to WiFi 6 – Killer AX1650 + TP-Link AX1500 WiFi 6 Router

Introduction

In this video I’m upgrading my laptop’s WiFi adapter to the new Killer AX1650 wireless WiFi 6 adapter.

I’m pairing it with my TP-Link AX1500 WiFi 6 router and performing a before and after comparison.

The results are, in my opinion, quite good and they show how you can, with little money, give a boost to your wireless network at home.

Before watching this video, I advise you to watch the first video, where I upgrade my WiFi router.
