    RT-BE58U Firmware

    https://www.snbforums.com/threads/asus-rt-be58u.96360/post-978478 https://www.snbforums.com/threads/tuf-be3600-v1-vs-v2.96058/post-979738 AFAIK, they swapped the SoC from BCM6764L (HW V1) to BCM6764 (HW V2). I'm not sure what else changes ASUS made.

    BQ16 - Is AFC fully working now?

    GT-BE98 Pro is even more strange. H/W R2.70 (EUT 2) has the barometric pressure sensor, but the H/W R2.50 (EUT 1) was selected to do the AFC DUT Harness test back in July 2024. Based on C2PC from Feb 2025, they added Adapter 2 and mentioned adding "WiFi+Barometric Position geolocation method...

    Is Unifi worth the upgrade?

    Just out of curiosity, do you have the FCCID for the U7 Pro? You should be able to find it easily on the packaging box. Ubiquiti made two versions of U7 Pro. The first version (FCCID SWX-U7PRO) had a fan in it (you can see the fan slit opening on the back of the AP). The second version (FCCID...

    Qualcomm vs Broadcom in a home network

    Just to clarify, did you get the Archer BE11000 Pro from Best Buy? Could you confirm the FCCID on the back of the router? If it is 2BCGWBE700, then there's a possibility it is using Broadcom BCM6765. https://www.bestbuy.com/product/tp-link-archer-be11000-tri-band-wi-fi-7-router-black/J3GWLQQRP8...

    RT-BE58 Go FCC internal photo (MSQ-RTBE8R00) was released today and it's confirmed to be using BCM6764KFEBG. It is the same SoC used as devices below. MSQ-RTBE8Y00 - RT-BE55, RT-BE58 V2 / RT-BE3600 V2, TUF-BE3600 V2 MSQ-RPBE7U00 - RP-BE58 (extender)

    RT-AX53U hardware

    It is using Mediatek MT7621AT (880MHz MIPS 1004Kc dualcore). The following models use the same CPU: RT-AX53U / RT-AX1800U RT-AX1800HP V1 / RT-AX54HP V1 RT-AX1800S V1

    TUF-BE3600 V1 vs V2

    Now that FCC have uploaded the V2 internal photos, RT-BE58U V2 / RT-BE3600 V2, TUF-BE3600 V2, and RT-BE55 is confirmed to be using BCM6764KFEBG.

    BQ16 - Is AFC fully working now?

    Based on FCC C2PC letter, hardware version R1.40 has the barometric pressure sensor. They selected EUT 2 for the AFC DUT harness test back in May 28 2024. However, I'm not even sure if H/W R1.4 has ever reached into the market though.

    TUF-BE3600 V1 vs V2

    V1 was using Broadcom BCM6764LKFEBG for RT-BE58U, RT-BE3600, and TUF-BE3600 according to internal photos from FCC MSQ-RTBE7900. For V2, I'm guessing they swapped the Broadcom chipset to BCM6764KFEBG. This seems to be true for other manufacturers (TP-Link, Netgear and etc). Anyways, we'll know...

    Asus BE6500 speed via USB with latest firmware

    It's possible. It's unusually low compared to other routers on the same Dongknows chart assuming all things equal in testing standards. Perhaps, it's their poor implementation as ASUS has been mostly using Broadcom chipset and some Mediatek for their Wi-Fi 6 and 7 routers. TUF-BE9400 uses the...

    Which of these two routers would be better?

    Personally, I would get the Zyxel EX5601-T0 as it is Openwrt supported, but only if you care about it. A similar model was heavily recommended for Openwrt users in the EU last year since you can get it relatively cheap at 30€ T-56 (ISP Odido branded EX5601-T1, which is the same as T0 version...

    (DEAD) [Staples Canada] ASUS TUF-AX4200 $90 CAD

New ATL pricing is now $80 with the coupon code, but you need to add a filler item so the total will need to be at least $100 for the coupon to work. Cheap filler items like paper, pen...
