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: 7.5 for now.

Third-party reviews

What customers like about VONETS VAP11S

  • Two LAN ports let you plug in a wired device such as a TV.
  • The smartphone app keeps setup simple.
  • Roaming helps devices switch over to it.
  • Access point mode turns a wired connection into Wi-Fi.
  • 900 Mbps on 5 GHz gives a fast link for one room.
  • Its portable design fits in a bag.

What customers don't like about VONETS VAP11S

  • No MU-MIMO, so several devices share the link less efficiently.
  • It has no WPA3 security.
  • No 802.11k or 802.11v means roaming between access points gets less help.
  • It is not waterproof and not built for outdoor use.
  • Its Ethernet ports run at 0.1 Gbps, which is slow for large transfers.

Verdict

Wi-Fi 5 at 900 Mbps on 5 GHz is the core of the VONETS VAP11S, an extender for a room that gets a weak signal and needs a wired device. The two LAN ports are its most useful extra. A printer, a smart TV or a desktop can plug in. The app makes setup quick, roaming helps phones move onto it, and 256-QAM and beamforming help the signal. Access point mode can turn a wired line into Wi-Fi. The trade-offs are gaps in the newer standards. It has no WPA3 security, no MU-MIMO and no 802.11k or 802.11v roaming help, and it is not waterproof. Its Ethernet ports run at 0.1 Gbps, which is slow for big file copies. It suits a home user who wants wired ports and does not need the newest standards.
