New internet provider NuFibre, which was recently established by the existing owners of Yayzi Broadband (here), have signed an agreement to adopt broadband routers and mesh WiFi extenders from European network kit manufacturer Genexis. The ISP will thus become the first such UK provider to deploy the Genexis Elite HX30 residential gateway (router) and Home CX30 WiFi extender.
The Genexis Elite HX30 is a WiFi 6 device (peak wireless speeds of 3Gbps) with support for 2.5Gbps LAN/WAN speeds, while the Home CX30 supports the same WiFi performance but is limited to 1Gbps on its LAN/WAN ports. We’ll put some more specs on the Elite HX30 below, but you can also click the links in this paragraph to download the full data sheets (PDF).
Both devices are said to be equipped with essential features such as real-time remote management through TR-369/USP.
