    "2x2 AX Access Point Roundup"?

    Just an idea. It actually would be great to see a "2x2 AX Access Point Roundup" - Aruba Instant On AP22 - Ubiquiti U6 Lite - TP-Link EAP620HD - Engeniustech EWS357AP - Grandstream GWN7660 - ...

    News Aruba Introduces Industry’s First Enterprise-Grade Wi-Fi 6E Solution

    So here is a benchmark using the access point by Aruba with all radios tested together: There´s another video at which shows tests with each radio on its own with higher benchmark results. So with 6 GHz, 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz running single tests Aruba achieved 1034 Mbit/s, 1040 Mbit/s and 417...

    News Aruba Introduces Industry’s First Enterprise-Grade Wi-Fi 6E Solution

    Indeed, Aruba´s answer sounds like a flimsy excuse for me. I wouldn´t be suprised if the AP-635 uses some early unknown chipset with incomplete firmware.

    News Aruba Introduces Industry’s First Enterprise-Grade Wi-Fi 6E Solution

    AP-635 inferior to AP-535/AP-515? Is there any comparison of current chipsets regarding the maximum supported number of resource units (OFDMA)? According to Qualcomm´s homepage, they support up to 37 RUs. What about Broadcom, Mediatek, Marvell, Quantenna, ... ?

    Why You Don't Need MU-MIMO

    For the test with 60x 802.11ax clients Intel AX200 (2x2:2) is used. AP-515 (4x4:4) AP-535 (4x4:4) AP-555 (8x8:8) According to https://www.qualcomm.com/products/networking/networking-device-finder/aruba-ap-535 AP-555 uses "Qualcomm Networking Pro 1200 Platform" Which IPQxxxx would this be...

    Why You Don't Need MU-MIMO

    Well, if I look at AP-535 from the left: - 50 clients with 802.11ac (wave 1) and SU-MIMO: 590 Mbit/s AP-535 from the right: - 60 clients with mixed 802.11ax/802.11ac (wave 2) and MU-MIMO: 528 Mbit/s Those 50 "old" clients outperform the 60 "modern" clients; having +10 more clients on the...

    Why You Don't Need MU-MIMO

    So, Aruba tested its own access points some time ago: AP-515, AP-535 and AP-555 which all support 4x4:4 on 5 GHz. There´s hardly any benefit using MU-MIMO at all compared to SU-MIMO:

    looking for a good 802.11AX / 1024QAM access point

    https://hwp.media/articles/review_and_test_of_the_tp_link_eap_660hd_wi_fi_6_access_point/ mentioned a bug with TP-Link EAP660HD 802.11ax access point, which I do not know whether it still exists with current firmware: "We turned to TP-Link for clarification, and we were informed that Yes, today...

    UniFi 6 Long-Range Access Point Right choice for upgrade

    Well, if you have some walls between your clients and your laptop your clients will probably connect with 2.4 Ghz, not 5.0 Ghz. 802.11n is the grandmother of 802.11ax Source: https://indevis.de/en/file-download/download/public/1402

    UniFi 6 Long-Range Access Point Right choice for upgrade

    As you can see within the datasheet, the Unifi 6 Long Range supports 802.11ax with its 5 Ghz radio only, but not when your devices connect to it with 2.4 Ghz. The reason for this is that Unifi decided to use a Mediatek MT7915 for 5 GHz, so you have 802.11ax with 4x4:4 MU-MIMO for 5 GHz but Unifi...

    Finally Sick of UBNT. Need AP -Without- Corp. Network

    The current hardware version of the Engenius EWS357AP (v3) uses IPQ60xx SoC. It would be great if you could compare your benchmark results of the ECW220 with Grandstream´s GWN7660 which also uses IPQ60xx SoC. It would be rather interesting, if the benchmark results are identical or whether...

    2x2 ax vs 4x4 ac

    Well, 4x4 or even 8x8 is useful for our class rooms, lecture hall and libraries, where are lot of concurrent clients are connected simultaneously. 2.5GbE ports are not necessary. The picture shows a comparison between Aruba AP-515, AP-535 and AP-555 access points published by Aruba Networks...

    Anyone with TP-Link Omada experience?

    So currently you already have access points which support 802.11ac? Which Chromebooks do you use? It might be an option to upgrade to EAP620HD (2x2:2) or to EAP660HD (4x4:4) access points which support 802.11ax on 2.4 and 5.0 GHz. OC200 is enough.

    Anyone with TP-Link Omada experience?

    Indeed you need the controller for roaming and central management for the devices. An OC200 would be way easier to mantain than PC plus it´s cheap, fanless and needs less power. I`d suggest to take the EAP245v3 instead of the EAP225v3. MU-MIMO might not be a huge improvement, but it may help in...

    new wireless system for office

    Well, define "large number". We use Aruba AP-535 (600$) and AP-555 (800$) + their internal controllers in seminar rooms and lecture halls, or even some Grandstream GWN7630 (100$) access points in our libraries. You want definitely access points with "airtime fairness" and 802.11k/v/r roaming...
