Davolink’s Minions Kevin router delivers strong nearby Wi‑Fi 6E speeds

Gadget Review

RTINGS’ testing found Davolink’s Minions Kevin offers strong nearby speeds on its 5GHz and 6GHz Wi‑Fi 6E bands, suiting apartments and potentially appealing to Quest 3 owners. Its range falls with distance, and it has just one 1Gbps LAN port.

Kevin is an AXE5400-class tri-band router covering 2.4GHz, 5GHz and 6GHz; its roughly 5.4Gbps rating is combined theoretical capacity, not a speed one device should expect. Its 2.5Gbps WAN port supports internet connections faster than 1Gbps, though actual throughput depends on the service and network setup. The separate Minions Bob is a dual-band Wi‑Fi 6 router with a 1Gbps WAN port and no 6GHz band; RTINGS found it suitable for a small home or as a mesh satellite with Kevin.

On compatible devices, 160MHz channels on 6GHz may provide higher local link rates and improve conditions for wireless PC-VR streaming. A Reddit user reported a Quest 3 link rate above 2Gbps with Kevin, but commenters noted that link rate is not game-streaming bitrate or internet throughput; the post is anecdotal, not a controlled benchmark.
