While that may have been sufficient back in 2017 (the date of the post), things change.
The fact that it's ARM based means nothing. It depends on the actual hardware, the IA is irrelevant there.
There are rumors that some Broadcom chip-sets will be able to get updated to support the new WIFi 6E, since they announced very fast availability from the moment of FCC approval, 3 months
Chipset support is only part of the equation. The router's hardware also has to be designed to support it, which means filters and amplifiers must be able to work with these new frequencies. Therefore never assume that an existing model will eventually gain 6 GHz support, as it might requires hardware changes outside of the SoC itself.
For instance, while the BCM6750 supports the 6 GHz band, that does not mean that the Asus RT-AX58U will automatically gain 6 GHz support in the future.
Hmm, any chance any of them AX1100 are compatible, like asus, archer
Hello prada13579 and thank you for the videoi just make a video about this router, but only in cantonese. The setup meun is english version.
Will be very very hard almost impossible ... so far there is only 2 ASUS official SKU that is based on Qualcomm IPQ - namely ASUS BRT-AC828 and this ASUS RT-AX89X
A couple of older models N series are Mediatek based CPU and almost all the AC models are Broadcom based.
And only the Blue Cave is Intel based
it will be outdated already.
For me, if something supersedes RT-AX89X, then it is outdated.What is your definition of "outdated"?
Mine is "something that can no longer properly fulfill its job". The RT-AX89X certainly won't be for many years. A 5 years old RT-AC68U for instance is not outdated.
For me, if something supersedes RT-AX89X, then it is outdated.
