I don’t have much experience with the T6E, and I only used the T9E briefly. I’m not sure which one is better for its price. Did you try the T6E as well? Edit: I found this info on Tom’s Hardware.
It varies based on your router model, internet speed, and whether you're transferring data over LAN connections. The T6E can handle about 600Mbit (2x2 MIMO) while the T9E supports around 800Mbit (3x3 MIMO). If your router doesn't include 802.11ac, you'll need to upgrade it as well.
The future could offer a benefit over RAW speed for the T9E through additional MIMO antenna chains, allowing a narrower channel width to achieve the same performance. This usually enhances range and reduces interference with nearby devices. However, without knowing your specific circumstances, I can't confirm if the cost difference matters to you, especially since things may shift by the time you start using it. Personally, I’d pick the T9E for confidence, as I often worry about having chosen the superior option.
I finished what I was working on. Appreciate the assistance. I don’t think I’m achieving optimal speeds, but it’s mainly due to the router’s performance and the weak broadband connection at the location.
I tend to add extra capacity wherever possible, keeping it practical. It simplifies future moves if you need to transfer files between devices or upgrade your internet connection. Even small changes like placing the computer farther from the router or moving it to a different room can improve performance, and upgrading the Wi-Fi chipset will help maintain stronger signals.
I've tested both options, and they both perform adequately. The key distinction lies in how the T9E manages continuous stress because of its cooling system and extra antenna.
