    BCM6750 switch function in AX58U - relating to wifi throughput, latency and jitter, microstutter in PCVR.

    Well, that router is a low-end model, which has a low-end Cortex-A7 based SoC in it and it's not known as a great router SoC. In fact, the entire platform is somewhat crippled, as the SoC only has support for 16-bit DDR3 RAM, whereas high-end router SoCs use two 16-bit chips (for 32-bit width)...

    AX88U-Pro, Jumbo Frames?

    How much time have you saved? Jumbo frames aren't some kind of miracle solution, especially not in modern hardware with TCP/IP offloading and faster CPUs compared to a decade or two ago On anything faster than Gigabit, it's not at all recommended. I have honestly never seen any proof that it...

    AX88U-Pro, Jumbo Frames?

    Just FYI, Jumbo frames aren't recommended any more as they often cause more problems than the benefits that are offered from enabling them.

    Asus Rog GT-AX6000 Decision / RT-AX88U Pro

    I use channel 100 @ 160 MHz, but the higher channels are not available in Europe, so I couldn't tell you.

    Asus Rog GT-AX6000 Decision / RT-AX88U Pro

    No issues with the antennas, it's mostly plastic and for show, so they're not as heavy as they look, but yeah, they're chunky. I only got the GT-AX6000 as it was on sale and was a lot cheaper locally compared to the AX88U Pro. Couple of reviews if you're interested...

    Asus Rog GT-AX6000 Decision / RT-AX88U Pro

    The GT-AX6000 isn't any better, it has top vents as well. That ROG logo is the air vents on the top and there are also side vents. Also, that's how big it is compared to a 14" notebook.

    Asus Rog GT-AX6000 Decision / RT-AX88U Pro

    Based on what you have to pay, I'd go with the AX88U Pro. It seems to be the better supported device by Asus right now as well. It's very easy to access your home NAS on the go, I have one in another country and can access it from anywhere in the world. Just install WireGuard on your PC and...

    Asus Rog GT-AX6000 Decision / RT-AX88U Pro

    It's not so much about need as it allows for multiple devices (assuming they support MU-MIMO) to use the 2.4 GHz band simultaneously without having to wait for each other. It really comes down to use case, but say you have a patio/back yard you want to use WiFi in, you're unlikely to get a 5 GHz...

    AX86U & AX88U Pro, same power supply?

    As long as the Voltage is the same and it supplies enough current for the maximum current draw, the rest doesn't matter. The issue is always if the Voltage is higher/lower or it can't supply enough current.

    Advice Needed

    No ONT here, just an Ethernet jack to which I connect my router to. This is from before we moved in. Got a switch on the "shelf" and then ran the incoming port to a network jack and then the other side to the router. Luckily each Ethernet outlet has two ports, I then ran it back to the cabinet...

    Asus Rog GT-AX6000 Decision / RT-AX88U Pro

    In addition to the above, the RT-AX86U Pro is only 3x3 on the 2.4 GHz, which may or may not be a concern.

    TUF AX6000 When Adaptive QOS is enabled, Wireless upload speeds are reduced by less than half.

    Just turn off QoS. there's no need for QoS with that kind of speed internet connection. Also, as QoS makes sure to prioritise data for whatever you set it up to, the router might think that some device that should be prioritised ned data and thus the speed for your other devices is dropped, as...

    AC87U frequent dropoff in internet on both WiFi and ethernet - whats going on?

    That's pretty similar to how my R7800 behaved before it kicked the bucket. Yes, factory reset might help, but only for a while.

    Advice Needed

    I don't live in Canada either... I guess your provider has better switches. My router has two 2.5 Gbps ports I'm on "open" fibre, so it doesn't belong to my ISP.

    Advice Needed

    Sorry to disappoint, but it doesn't. I have Gigabit internet and I can't go higher than 948 Mbps due to the equipment used by the company that owns the network.

    Trying to confirm or dispel some rumors on .m2 Wifi 2230 cards

    Gigabyte sells both MTK and Qualcomm cards as well. 1.0 is Qualcomm and 1.1 is MTK, with 1.2 being Intel. https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GC-WIFI7

    Trying to confirm or dispel some rumors on .m2 Wifi 2230 cards

    Or maybe someone just f-ed up? I mean, I have written enough technical documents in Taiwan to know that things end up all kinds of wrong. At one point, I had to request the right information three times from the person who'd given it to me, as I knew it was for the wrong product, but the person...

    Trying to confirm or dispel some rumors on .m2 Wifi 2230 cards

    Isn't that what I wrote? They're still sold as AMD products though, so it's under their own brand. Never tried to pry one open, as I haven't had the need to do so. One advantage is shorter wires between the card and the antennas, which should lead to less loss and less risk of interference...

    Advice Needed

    That MikroTik router uses a really old (ca 2017) SoC from Marvell that's not power efficient at all and it "only" has two 2.5 Gbps ports. https://www.marvell.com/content/dam/marvell/en/public-collateral/embedded-processors/marvell-embedded-processors-armada-7040-product-brief-2017-12.pdf...

    Trying to confirm or dispel some rumors on .m2 Wifi 2230 cards

    That M.2 slot does not, as already pointed out, support CNVIo cards, but it does support M.2 WiFi cards. The module you already have built into the board can also be swapped out, as it'll be mounted like this. The metal surrounding the M.2 card is simply there to hold it vertically. However, it...
