The pioneers with BQ16: Would you say even the hardware in these are potentially buggy as shipped, and Asus is actually revving up the hardware while in production ? In other words, doing new ASIC spins and stuff with Broadcom in the hardware too, apart from the expected firmware immaturity ?
I was strongly leaning towards getting a 1 pack BQ16 Pro (with the hope that Merlin might release his version of the fw, since its a Pro router, eventually) - but from folks who have tried it, seems to have universally experienced issues with the 6 GHz band for the most part...
While I'm fully wiling to wait to MLO and such to be figured out and stabilized in FW (can keep those switched off) - I can't afford to have an unreliable/immature hardware, and I was wondering about using the 6 GHz band for the higher SNR - given my neighbors crowding the 5 GHz band.
Those who are actually pioneering the BQ16's use: Thoughts on the hardware maturity - and the stability/reliability of the 6 GHz band when used with separate SSIDs for each of the bands, and when used as a 1 pack or single router for now ? Thanks in advance.
