    Wi-Fi 6 Performance Roundup: Five Routers Tested

    There is one thing I noticed, the Intel AX200 doesn't seem to support 80+80MHz in order to get 160MHz without using DFS channels. With the tech simply force everyone into using DFS? Is there any way for the people developing these WiFi standards to get the FCC to remove all restrictions on DFS...

    Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.72SF

    Definitely use Voxel's firmware. for the past few years,they have been consistently better. I often test both, where when Netgear releases a new firmware, I would test it and do things like benchmark the storage performance on a 4TB WD red formatted to NTFS, and Voxel continues to perform better.

    50 devices or 100+ - Why the difference? Is it real?

    I wonder if those numbers are just based on marketing and how many devices they got around to trying with it. in the past, I have seen many APs where because it was open and unsecured, you could see around 100 devices connected to it via WiFi during the 802.11n days, and they weren't high end...

    Wi-Fi 6 Performance Roundup: Five Routers Tested

    I wonder, has there been any thorough benchmarking of the Intel ax200 yet at 160MHz? Purchased one a little while back, but can't really verify ax speeds since I lack a router with a 10GbE port or something that will allow me to test the full speed of a single ax client in more ideal conditions...

    Wi-Fi 6 Performance Roundup: Five Routers Tested

    Sorry, I think I was in error in how I worded the question, basically the idea I was getting at, is suppose a scenario like this comes up, a user currently has a reasonably high end 802.11ac wireless router, and a pretty common set of 802.11ac devices, e.g., a smartphone with a 2 stream...

    Wi-Fi 6 Performance Roundup: Five Routers Tested

    I wonder, have these ax routers done anything to improve the performance of purely ac clients?

    NETGEAR Intros Tri-band Wi-Fi 6 Router and Mesh Extender

    Wirecutter does not really do in-depth reviews. Though they do cover a wider range of content, their actual benchmarks are more limited, and largely fluffed up with a lot of ext. I like to call this textbook format which is when a company making a textbook, takes 2 pages of information, and...

    CableLabs Thinks Two Channels Are Better Than One

    The main reason I was thinking that is since the paper listed that "all 802.11 response messages are allowed on the DC to ensure correct lower layer operations of the [802.11] protocols." Thus at some hardware level it is physically capable of handling traffic in either direction, and any...

    CableLabs Thinks Two Channels Are Better Than One

    If they are using an additional channel that is dedicated to a single traffic direction, then why can't they make to dynamically switch? For example, if the AP detects that tons of clients need upload throughput, then have that channel switch to upload to give it a little extra boost, but as...

    Ars: D-Link agrees to settle FTC charges

    For me, I don't mind if work is outsourced, as long as it is done right, and the product gets the support it needs. The problem is that many companies are producing utilitarian products that will not be replaced very frequently, but they only want to support it with at most 1 or 2 firmware...

    Ars: D-Link agrees to settle FTC charges

    If a company needs to be sued in order to get them to issue firmware updates, then users need to take that info into account when deciding on what to purchase. When they go out of their way to block 3rd party firmware use while also refusing to fix well known security issues, that behavior is in...

    TRENDnet Introduces 2.5 GbE and 5 GbE USB-C 3.1 Adapters

    That is really expensive when you consider the pricing of currently available 10GbE adapters such as the ASUS XG-C100C 10G, which is already insanely overpriced. Making something use USB-C should not increase the price that much, especially since we have USB-C multi-card readers that sell for...

    WiFi channels for a R7800 and the X4s extender running SmartConnect /Mesh

    If using the extender like the EX8000, for some reason, the 2 stream radio can only use the lower channels, thus if connecting to the r7800, it will only be able to create a backhaul using the 2 stream radio (PHY rate of 866.7Mbps (of which you will at best get around 500Mbps of). a higher...

    Intel AX200 / NETGEAR RAX80, RAX120 Test Results

    Has anyone found a trusted place where to purchase an AX200?

    AX12/AX8 Gui

    I wonder if it is possible Netgear look back at older firmware and then figure out how they were able to allow users to control the timeout for the session. https://i.imgur.com/7CZkR4l.png

    AX12/AX8 Gui

    I wish they would change that also, in the past (before they moved to the Netgear genie UI), you could adjust the auto logout settings where the value was in minutes and it would accept 4 digit numbers.

    News NETGEAR Announces Tri-Band AX RAX200 Router

    For $600 why can't they just give it 10, 10GbE ports, or do other arrangements, e.g., a model with 6 10GbE ports and 1 connector that will support a 40 gigabit QSFP+transceiver? For the premium priced routers, we should not be seeing Ethernet ports that top out at 1 gigabit, the year 1999 ended...

    AX12/AX8 Gui

    I wonder, have they improved the responsiveness of the web UI with the AX12 router? It is the one area which I have not figured out why it is so slow. Furthermore, it makes me wonder what is getting in the way of making it faster, for example, many years ago on routers such as the WRT54GL...

    Netgear X4S R7800 Firmware comparison Stock vs Voxel performance issues

    I wanted to give more info on the port 80 issue by showing a few benchmarks of the behavior. Basically, when this issue happens, it will only effect port 80, if you run a throughput test on any other port, e.g., 23, 443, 1024, etc. you will effectively get 940Mbps on download and a little less...
