    Looking for Wifi6 Mesh - No Orbi!

    Dunno maybe some leave it as is but, they actually can tweak things like channel selection/width from the OEM sides well, at least from my experience working with their engineers in the past. On NGs side I think they may actually be done by the third party OEM engineers working on NGs behalf, I...

    Looking for Wifi6 Mesh - No Orbi!

    Haven't seen that before, guess differing environments.. Most Netgear Ive tested go out of the 1/6/11 at some point even when everyone else/most follows the rules, I've complained about it but was usually ignored, even when demonstrating differences in throughput from increased interference...

    Looking for Wifi6 Mesh - No Orbi!

    In Most manufacturers I've seen have auto select that seem to stick to 1/6/11.. even in an apartment I'm at right now literally only one person has it outside that, at channel 4. Netgear is usully the biggest offender in regards to auto select going outside 1/6/11, and low and behold when I've...

    Looking for Wifi6 Mesh - No Orbi!

    If you have neighbors with decent WiFi signals parking outside of 1/6/11 can be an annoyance. From experience…

    Looking for Wifi6 Mesh - No Orbi!

    @L&LD The highest end Orbi 963 being sold for the past few months is Quadband 2.4 Ghz/ 2x 5Ghz/6Ghz (1 5Ghz band is used as backhaul) with 1x 10Gbe and 1x 2.5 Gbe ports on main unit plus plus 1x 2.5 Gbe on the satellites aside from gig ports. Pretty high retail $$$ for the 3 pack though. Granted...

    News Qualcomm launches WiFi 7 Pro Series with wireless speeds of up to 33.1Gbps

    They likely will show up in the consumer side albeit in very expensive models, considering the top most one would likely succeed what’s currently in the latest AXE Quad stream Orbi as an example. The second highest one probably will show up in top end routers kinda like the Asus GT-AXE11000/...

    Do you guys solder?

    I have heard of the switch issues. For what it’s worth my G903s (Both the Pixart 3366 and Hero versions have been fine, the Pixart one being from around release time). Most people with positive experiences generally don’t leave reviews or post skewing stats so it’s sometimes hard to know how...

    Community backed router

    Yeah I think 10Gbe is like another 25-30% greater draw on that card vs 5Gbe. 5Gbe would be a nice balance as power draw is very close to 2.5Gb at least based on a sample of 1 model lol.

    Community backed router

    Not necessarily always much higher going from 2.5 to 5 Gbps power wise, depends on chipset. For the Intel X710-T2L in my firewall jumping from 1 to 2.5 Gbps is around a 25% increase in power draw, but 2.5-5 Gbps modes are actually relatively close like only around a 6% power draw differential on...

    News Here we go. Qualcomm announces Wi-Fi 7 chipset

    Definitely on older nodes (cheaper) and a few generations old ARM CPUs compared to what you see in today’s smart phones and tablets. CPUs mostly being the low power A53s rather than the much larger and more complicated high performance A57 cores of that generation. Raw power wise the Quad Core...

    Query regarding speed while downloading a file and CakeQoS & Bufferbloat

    Are you simultaneously downloading and speed testing on separate devices or the same device. If you are speed testing and downloading on the same device then “piece of cake” can’t help you, you’d probably need “layered cake” with tagging. Or QoS on the device side. Piece of Cake, which what...

    Should I upgrade R7800 to RT-AX86U

    The R7800 is still pretty competitive with some of the AX routers you may not see a major difference. Unlike L&LD, my experiences and those whom I’ve given some of my test ax routers didn’t see any major gains. There paper/benchmark gains and then there’s real world use. Plus @L&LD he’s using...

    We are soon to get faster than 1 gig internet

    Judging historically way things have been done I think you are being way too optimistic. Plus even testing being completed doesn’t mean it’s implementation is near, not as simple as flipping on switch, it took a while even for the previous iteration to go into the field. I agree with @sfx2000 in...

    Ethernet question

    It’s not so much about upgrading every year, more about not having a use case in homes. I would use Cat6/6A for in home wiring if you really want an upgrade over Cat5E. Most of the CAT8 stuff I’ve seen on Amazon has been junk. I bought some on Newegg that seem to be proper ones, 2 years ago...

    Ethernet question

    Not true, Cat8 is an IEEE standard. However pretty sure OP doesn’t need it, would see no difference from Cat 6, unless one has some special needs. Also I doubt one would be getting a good cat 8 cable for that cheap, next it’s kinda thick and has a higher bend radius. If it’s one of those flat...

    Wifi6->Lan performance loss

    Also don’t forget WiFi is half duplex unlike Ethernet plus on top of that you share access time with other actively transmitting clients usually in a round robin fashion, (so good that you tested with single device active) . Connection speed/ Link Rate and real world are quite different, on...

    News "Wi-Fi 7 Stomps on the Gas"

    If Fios is an option take a look, I just moved to the east coast a few months back and it’s in my area at least, $39.99 for 200/200 in reality I’m overprivisioned to 300/300. Comcast’s 200 plan is ~250/10 in some areas upload is now only 5. If sticking with Comcast I’d contact the loyalty...

    [Advise] 2022 (new?) wifi6e m.2 laptop network cards? Recommendations, Please

    True I ran into the device ID issue in Linux, in my case the Killer AC1550 ( Intel 9260AC). Intel actually at times would release beta/final drivers on the Killer site before Intel's own site had them, probably to use them as guinea pigs lol. Most of that instability and system crashes and Win...

    [Advise] 2022 (new?) wifi6e m.2 laptop network cards? Recommendations, Please

    In the link above there are also 4x4 single band AP oriented Qualcomm cards for 2.4 / 5 / 6 GHz so you can build your own WiFi router :). The M.2 Version is expensive :Do_O. I will end with that sorry for derailing the topic OP.
