    Qualcomm WiFi 6E Access Point with 4k QAM

    Qualcomm has announced 4k QAM rates (20% faster than current Wi-Fi 6 / 6e MCS11 rate) a couple of years ago. Does anyone know of any product (router / access point) that supports this? It would probably be something that only works between Qualcomm-Qualcomm devices as 4k QAM rates are not part...

    How Much Total Throughput Can Your Wi-Fi Router Really Provide?

    Very nice test. Would love to see this re-done on 6E. Same exact test, just add 6E (tri-band AP) and some 6E devices. Would probably make the best case for a 6E AP Throughput improvement. (and 160MHz is a viable case here)

    First Peek At Wi-Fi 6: ASUS RT-AX88U & NETGEAR RAX80

    This is very interesting - so the SSD is attached to a USB port and you are seeing 1120Mbps ? Very cool. I have tried USB ports on older generation routers (even the R7800), and in most cases speeds were less than expected, and less than the Wi-Fi rate. This would be a big improvement (and...

    Why You Don't Need MU-MIMO

    (I'm a bit late to this article, but..) Tim - Very nice article and I agree with the MU-MIMO sentiment (especially when it comes to 2x2). However - I'm surprised you didn't go further with 1x1 in this instance (more devices). the 62% improvement with two 1x1 devices in MU mode was not bad. I...

    MU-MIMO, 160MHz and >1Gbps Wi-Fi testing

    Thanks for link Tim, for the bridge testing of WRT3200ACM, but as I figured, you are using 2 wired clients connected at 1Gbps. So even though the performance doesn't seem to be bottlenecked by the wire in this instace (it reaches only ~830Mbps), if it got just a 15% improvement (which I'm sure...

    MU-MIMO, 160MHz and >1Gbps Wi-Fi testing

    Thanks Tim, how do you test the routers in bridge mode? (where does the data go? don't you still need clients attached to the Router?). Can you share a link? I guess MU-MIMO with 160MHz should definitely get us over 1G :)

    MU-MIMO, 160MHz and >1Gbps Wi-Fi testing

    Seems like MU-MIMO and 160Mhz both are potentially exceeding Gigabit Ethernet, but unfortunately, I have not seen much data on this. Even on SNB, which does a pretty great job for testing Routers (good methodology, etc), has not really been able to step over this challenge (as far as I can...
