    ASUS GT-AXE11000 5 vs. 6 GHz ... a preview

    So that's one area that the difference between 5 and 6 would get a bit tighter. Thanks, good for me to keep in mind. Means I can still upgrade older "cards" with some loss if operating in the e bands, but waiting for actual 6e optimized antenna's in to come equipped in devices has some merit...

    ASUS GT-AXE11000 5 vs. 6 GHz ... a preview

    Sort of a question/area of concern. Am I right that AX210 hooked up to a normal AX201 set of antennas is using antenna's not properly optimized for 6GHz? Is that what you did? A lot of users that I read grabbing AX210's have been using them in basic AX 5GHz wired notebooks. If someone got a...

    Qualcomm Rolls Out Wi-Fi 6E Lineup

    As compared to the registered 5Ghz channels that are given to wifi only.

    Qualcomm Rolls Out Wi-Fi 6E Lineup

    There is just such a large range of added channels available that rolling it out quickly makes sense. I have to wonder if premium phone brands will manage to roll it into products latter half of this year or if clients (phones, streamers, possibly even security devices) may end up a 2021...

    Netgear RAX200

    Just because I had this very same problem with the "wings" in the RAX120, I'll tell you that a tiny bit of clear packing tape secures the wings. No they have no securing method other than gravity. Netgear intended them to be upgright, and the first models had not wall mount in the back...

    [RAX-120] New firmware with Armor support and first issue

    I have the RAX120 with this firmware. I do not have Armour, but I did install manually, set the settings myself rather than the app. System was updated via the App, and the listed devices took a bit of time to repopulate but by morning all were there and it has been flawless since. I don't...

    Is WPA3 a good reason to move to WiFi 6?

    The weakness of WPA3 referred to was labeled Dragonblood. First round of the weaknesses disclosed around Apr 19 and then a second set (where it was claimed hardware would need to be updated to mitigate the vulnerability) was disclosed around Aug 19. I have seen no followup so my assumption is...

    Qualcomm Announces Second Generation Networking Pro Series Platforms For Wi-Fi 6

    I'll be interested if anyone hears if this chipset/client set has implemented fixes for WPA3 dragonblood #2 revealed in August. I know that sounds too recent but the disclosure indicated that fixes were already being tested and required silicon changes (that was a guess from what I read so not...

    Get rid of devices that don't support WPA2?

    I'm thinking a powerline adapter will eliminate the printer and a bridge will take care of the other set.

    Get rid of devices that don't support WPA2?

    WPA is on the 2.4 only. All 5 band items are WPA2. Still the performance hit?

    Get rid of devices that don't support WPA2?

    So I was configuring a printer yesterday and had a concern. Since a fence is only as strong as the weakest link, is using ANY device that merely has WPA (the old 2.4 standard but now very old) a weak point to be avoided now that we are at 2016 and laptops can have dual GPU's? I'm starting to...

    Intel 7260 2x2 802.11ac question regarding beamforming

    My thought on this is that with Wifi "useage" pretty much being huge to the point of continuously hunting for more spectrum, wouldn't a standards based technology that helps better utilize existing spectrum be a desirable feature to promote? I get that those ideas that are proprietary and step...

    Intel 7260 2x2 802.11ac question regarding beamforming

    Fair enough. Not really. That's an opinion based on a lot of market hunting for laptops, which of course do not represent the entire body wifi clients. Thought there would be some SEC revealed info in filings on just what some of the makers believe their share is, but of course that is...

    Intel 7260 2x2 802.11ac question regarding beamforming

    Because they hold such a volume lock on the client market, does anyone have a sign on when (or if) Intel will support mu-mimo? I can't find it anywhere in the Intel marketing machine so of course that certainly means "not now" and the 8260 is the upcoming product that if it doesn't have it...

    Netgear R7500v2, R7800 + R8500 have shown up

    Any preliminary thoughts on the X4S?
