    Wifi chipset design question

    Thanks Tim - this is really helpful especially that block diagram. One question is how come for Broadcom's XStream implementation they require 3 separate radio SoCs vs. one integrated SoC. Is the constraint computing power in each of the baseband processors to handle that? Appreciate the help -...

    Wifi chipset design question

    Hi everyone, I'm working on a project researching wifi technologies. I got a simple question, looking at the Asus AC-87U first look review, it seems like there is a Broadcom application processor based on an ARM core, a broadcom 2.4ghz rf chip and a 5ghz quantenna cpu + rf chip. However, in...

    Any update on Quantenna products?

    Thanks for the clarification re: MU-MIMO. The AC-87U seems like it's vaporware given that they announced an AC3200 router (granted the theoretical peak speed per connection is capped at 1.3mbps still). Any idea when they'll release that?

    Any update on Quantenna products?

    Anyone heard anything new about quantenna based products? Has anyone heard anything new regarding the AC-87U or if that's even happening? Their 4x4 MIMO tech looks interesting but it doesn't seem like there will be anything out there that can really take advantage of it. Been thinking about...

    WRT1900AC or ASUS RT-AC68U

    I went the opposite direction actually - after buying both the WRT1900AC and AC68U - I decided to keep the AC68U and run the RMerlin firmware on it. I thought about it in the following manner: 1. Reliability: This is probably the biggest gamble I'm taking despite being the most important...

    WRT1900AC vs. RT-AC68U vs. R7000

    From reading all the different threads about this, it sounds like the following conclusions can be drawn: 1. Hardware: Build quality of the WRT1900AC is the best, followed by R7000 and then 68U (USB shielding and Wifi interference issues - is this meaningful?) 2. Stock Firmware: WRT1900AC...

    Most Reliable AC1900 Router?

    I've read a lot about random reboot issues and slow USB 3.0 transfer issues (don't care as much about this one but still worth asking). Have you experienced any of that? I'm not opposed to playing with 3rd party firmware but my main goal is for it to just work. Was there a noticeable difference...

    Most Reliable AC1900 Router?

    Hi, First time posted to this forum but been an active SNB reader. Currently looking to buy an AC1900 router because my apartment complex has webpass (200mbps+ internet) and need a router that can handle all that bandwidth. Between the Asus AC68U, Netgear R7000 and the new Linksys WRT1900AC...
