Wifi ax 2.4G real life speed vs Wifi n 2.4G

I have tested it many times. For sure you cannot set higher than regulation but can set lower.

You misunderstood the meaning. Asuswrt-Merlin has exactly the same Wi-Fi settings as stock Asuswrt. Nothing more. It doesn't matter what firmware you run, the results will be the same.



Very close to realistic expectations results.

Going in to 2.4GHz...

11n is really the right place, as this is what most clients will negotiate anyways...

Depending on your Router/AP - disabling 802.11b/Legacy has the most impact, as this improves all the management frames from 802.11b (1Mbs) to 11g/n (6Mps) - seriously, this is a big impact, as this also removes the ERP protection rules, along with 11n greenfield options.

As an openwrt focused dev - playing with VHT (11ac) in 2.4 doesn't add anything, again as most clients will negotiate 11n for the association..

For WiFi6 - HE alone does offer a bit, but 2.4 is really more focused on IoT application for power saving and capacity improvements...

Here's my current config over the air for 2.4 on a WiFi6 AP... got some mixed mode action on WPA2/3 - and proper support for 11g/n/ax

This is new to me. Following your post I removed all legacy support for both 2.4G and 5G. Thank you!
