    Broadcom's BCM63178 combines a VDSL Profile 35b modem and Wi-Fi 6 802.11ax radio in a single chip

    Why would / should some one make Home DSL Gateway with only 2x2 802.11ax? Lot of ISP will start pushing this and you end up with Sub Par Wireless Performance. They should have at least throw in a 4x4.

    5 Things To Know Before You Buy A Draft 11ax Router

    To make things worst, I believe the industry is working on the 5G NR of LAA and Multifire..... Yep, more noisy neighbour and channels. And I am worry 802.11ax will be the biggest mess in Wireless tech. Those 2200 comments in Draft 3.0? they were the same 2200 comments in Draft 2.0. So why did...

    ASUSTOR AS4004T 4 Bay 10GbE NAS Reviewed

    Is the 10G Ethernet Controller built into the Marvell SoC or was a a separate chip? I am hoping we finally reach 10G Ethernet to affordable price for Home user.

    Can we expect both 802.11ax and 802.11ay in 2019?

    At least that is what they intend Draft 4.0 to be, the final one. And likely to ship it as 1.0 Lately It has become an IEEE tradition to quickly release spec v1.1, 1.2 after the first release. There are still 2200+ comments unaddressed in 802.11ax, I doubt Draft 4.0 will lower than number...

    Can we expect both 802.11ax and 802.11ay in 2019?

    AX is about to pass the final Draft. AY is getting Draft 2.0 in September. Edit: Just found out TP-Link show off two of their new AX router, interestingly enough most of the news are in Chinese or German, nothing in English yet.

    First draft 11ax AP To Ship In September

    To continue on this thread As expected I think they forced their hands on Draft 3.0, which was passed in July with 86%+ vote. But still has 2200+ comments. They are now making Draft 4.0 for November.

    ASUS Expands 11ax Lineup And Sets Ship Date

    I have to say this is the first time I heard of DumaOS. What happen to set it and forget it Router? The UI is very nice though, I wish there is a non gamer variant of it.

    First draft 11ax AP To Ship In September

    Oh God..... I have very bad feeling about this.

    First draft 11ax AP To Ship In September

    That is assuming 802.11ax pass the draft 3.0 this month. And I wonder how will 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz in 802.11ax works? Do you have to choose which band you want to use? Or could be it switched automatically depending on load?

    Asustor Announces Consumer NAS Line With 10 GbE and New Marvell Processor

    1. Assuming We put SSD into it, could we actually get 1Gb/s out of it from the 10Gbps. I asked because generally NAS are slow, and I am not sure the Cortex-A72 64-bit is good enough. It shouldn't be a problem, but better test then assume. ( Edit, wow this thing is on 16nm !!!! Normally they...

    ASUS Expands 11ax Lineup And Sets Ship Date

    Is is a lot harder, especially when they have discover the Densi-Fi situation. It also means we hopefully won't have situation like early 802.11ac that were complete pieces of crap and had lots of software "improvement" / hacks to make things work. And they even make great effort into deleting...

    ASUS Expands 11ax Lineup And Sets Ship Date

    The problem with 10Gbps / NBase-T is that the cost for both really isn't that much difference. So I would much rather they go with 10Gbps. And if you are live in a small flat, chances are your CAT6 cable could run 10Gbps. It has been tested that it works up to 50M, and unless you cheap out on...

    ASUS Expands 11ax Lineup And Sets Ship Date

    from may 2018 meeting notes The TG completed resolution of comments submitted on draft D2.0 The TG passed a motion to enable the TG Editor to prepare draft D3.0 and start a 30-day WG letter Ballot. The TG approved the proposed PAR extension. The TG approved the Coexistence Assurance documents...

    CES 2018 Wrapup: Waiting For 11ax

    The 802.11ad problem has nothing to do with market itself, but more the standard is messed up. 802.11ay will hopfully not repeat that mistake again. I kind of rather hope 802.11ax draft 3.0 will fail too. Unless someone give me a good reason why 802.11 wireless draft consistently have problem...

    Synology DS218j & DS218play DiskStations Reviewed

    I honestly dont think there are any differences in all the 2xJ, I have a 211j too, and it does it job well enough. But If anyone wants to upgrade they should definitely consider NAS that has either Brtfs or ZFS. I have seen far too many silent image or video / files corruption.

    Why You Don't Need MU-MIMO

    Ok Slightly off topic. Are the MU-MIMO the same as Massive MIMO in 4.9 / 5G?

    Why You Don't Need MU-MIMO

    Well You really cant blame Apple for not supporting something when the feature is not properly implemented. But this got me extremely worried with 802.11ax. Are we going to repeat this again, basically constantly shipping updated Hardware Chips to the market.

    Broadcom Takes The 4x4 Road For 802.11ax

    I am digging up more information. Unlike Qualcomm, Broadcom doesn't mention whether it support NBase-T as well. Qualcomm explicitly state 10Gbps, ( not Only 5 / 2.5 Gbps ). In Feb, both Qualcomm Quantenna announced Chipset support MU-MIMO in upload. And it turns out a few months ago H3C has...

    Broadcom Takes The 4x4 Road For 802.11ax

    From the Broadcom announcement, does that mean the Smartphone Chip wont support 160Mhz? Because its PHY Rate for 2x2 seems to be for 80Mhz only. I am eagerly waiting for this. If the real world numbers are anywhere near as good as LTE, I think 802.11ax is finally the solution to ditch Wired...

    Will Wi-Fi Make 5G LTE Irrelevant?

    With LTE, you pretty much get a decent AND guarantee connection. So far WiFi feels like a best effort ( Whether it is designed like that or not ) Logging in still sucks, some AP are stuck with ADSL backbone. And in high populated area it is hugely congested and UX mostly sucks. I am waiting to...
