    New ASUS RT-AX95Q/AX6600 AiMesh kit

    Interesting. The AX92U always was a strange design with only 802.11ax for the backhaul. The AX95Q hasn't popped up at the FCC yet. BCM6755 as SoC and for 2,4 GHz and the first 5 GHz band, and a BCM43684 for the second 5 GHz band. So that's should be: 600 Mb/s on the 2,4 GHz band (2x2 MIMO, 40...

    Samsung Announces First Wi-Fi 6 Phone

    Not bad on paper. I expected a 1201 Mb/s link-rate (2x2 MIMO, 80MHz, 1024 QAM), but we got a 1430 Mb/s link rate. This mean 2x2 MIMO, 160MHz (!) but only 64-QAM.
