EnGenius Access Point Review: Cloud-managed Wireless

Originally published on https://www.virtualizationhowto.com by Brandon Lee on August 4, 2023.

EnGenius is a brand gaining traction and visibility among many across the landscape of wireless solutions available on the market today. The wireless space is certainly a crowded one with many solutions, vendors, and technologies to choose from, both for on-premises-managed and cloud-managed wireless. EnGenius access point solutions offer many capabilities, including Wi-Fi 6 technology. Their access points are ready to support high-demand applications and devices.

EnGenius sent me a switch (ECS1112FP) and three indoor access point units (ECW220v3, ECW336, and ECW130) to play around with. However, I will add that the thoughts are my own, and this isn’t a paid review outside of receiving the hardware to test with.

Who is EnGenius Wireless?

EnGenius Technologies is a company specializing in connectivity options offering businesses many different solutions over the past two decades. Their networking designs and solutions, including indoor wireless access point and outdoor wireless solutions, are touted as easy to manage and provide many features, including cloud-managed Wi-Fi.
