What it is
Average grade from independent test sites, magazines and video reviewers, 1–10.
How we count it
Grades: Each review's own score is converted to 1–10; without one, we grade the review ourselves. Big test sites count more, short reviews half as much as full tests. A video review counts half.
Score: The average grade is 80% of the review mark; the number of reviews is the other 20% (1 review = 5, the typical number in this category = 8, the most-reviewed model = 10).
Enough data: With few reviews, the average grade is pulled toward the typical grade of this category. No reviews yet: 7.7 for now.

Third-party reviews

What customers like about Edimax BR-6675nD

  • User-friendly iQoS for easy bandwidth management without advanced technical knowledge
  • Physical hardware WLAN on/off switch to easily disable Wi-Fi and save power
  • One-touch secure connection via a dedicated WPS button
  • Concurrent dual-band support (2.4GHz and 5GHz) to reduce network interference
  • Compact and slim design compared to many contemporary dual-band routers
  • Includes essential security features like SPI intrusion protection and DoS protection

What customers don't like about Edimax BR-6675nD

  • Reports of reliability issues, with some users needing to reboot periodically due to flakiness
  • Lacks modern Wi-Fi standards, limited to Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) and 450Mbps speeds
  • No USB ports for connecting external storage or printers
  • Does not support IPv6, which may cause compatibility issues with newer network standards
  • Absence of a dedicated smartphone app for remote management or setup
  • Lacks MU-MIMO and beamforming technology found in more modern competitors

Verdict

The Edimax BR-6675nD is a concurrent dual-band iQ router supporting the IEEE 802.11n standard with wireless data rates up to 450Mbps. It features one Gigabit WAN port and four Gigabit LAN ports for high-speed wired connectivity, alongside three 3dBi antennas to broaden coverage. Key advantages include its user-friendly iQoS for simple bandwidth management, a physical WLAN on/off switch for energy saving, and robust security features such as SPI anti-DoS firewalls and VPN pass-through support. However, it lacks modern Wi-Fi standards like 802.11ac or Wi-Fi 6, does not include any USB ports for peripheral sharing, and lacks native IPv6 support found in newer models.
