Finally, I returned the RE505X and purchased a refurbished Netgear EAX80. I didn't get an answer, in time, from the support team. So I had to do that. Despite that, when they answered, I explained my problem to them, with the hope of knowing what happened. But I'm still waiting for an answer...

Yes, it's the latest firmware. It came with the version 1.0.5 and then I decided to upgrade it. Unfortunately, I can't test that because I still have not received my Intel AX200 card :-/ . In the TP-Link community forum there are at least other 2 users with the same problem. Yesterday, a...

Hi: I decided to purchase a TP-Link RE505X. It's a WiFi 6 repeater, that also allows to be used as an access point. And that's just what I wanted. But, to my surprise, when I use it that way, it doesn't give any option to use the 802.11ax protocol. In the 2.4 GHz band, it shows these options...

Great. That changes everything to me. Because I'll be able to do the switch from AC to AX more gradually. Thank you.

Thanks. So, Were there some clients using a band width of 80 MHz whereas others used a width of 160 MHz? Or did they all use a width of 80 MHz (highest common width)? Thanks. I thought it was like that for certain features, but I wasn't sure about the modulation and the band width. So one...

Hi: Suppose that in an 802.11ax network there is one client connected, which supports 802.11ax, and another one that "only" supports 802.11ac. Does the AP negotiate a specific modulation with each client? Or is it the same for both?: The highest common modulation, I guess. And what about the...

Thank you. I had no idea about that relation between streams and receive gain. In my case, I'll use multiple APs, so range should not be a concern. I read your 2 articles, but I still kept hope that OFDMA improved in the sort term. But, by your words in some threads of this forum, that doesn't...

Thanks for your answer. I understand that they get better throughput if you use a 3×3 or 4×4 client. But if you have 2×2 clients only, and if you exclude MU-MIMO from the equation, Why a 4×4 AP would provide better throughput and range? Is it simply because they usually have a faster SoC and...

Hi: I'm considering purchasing a new access point, probably one with AX support. I was obsessed with it being a 4×4 device, to take advantage of MU-MIMO. But now I'm reconsidering my position and thinking about getting a 2×2 one. It's weird for me to take one step back, because I've been using...

I don't think that it's your skills fault, but my mix of several issues in a single thread :P . The fact of not being a native English speaker hasn't helped either. Apologizes for this mess. Here it's a summary: My first problem was asymmetry. I wanted to know if it was something common to...

Thank you for that information. That corroborates the hypothesis that the download and upload bandwidths are asymmetric. Specially within long distances. In the case of the RT-AC68U, indeed, it seems that it does much worse than newer routers :S . Test of the PCE-AC68 and the RT-AC68U being...

Thanks for sharing your tests. They're giving me some interesting clues about IPerf3 ;) . The PCE-AC68 is connected to a triple external antenna that came bundled with the card. There's a cord of ~1 meter between the card and the antenna. So such antenna is away from the computer case. Right...

I've been reading some comments on the Internet, and it seems that the bandwidth asymmetry is not so uncommon, even in 2x2 and 3x3 wireless cards. It seems that some technologies used to improve the throughput are applied only on the downstream flow. I've continued doing tests. I've put the...

Well, the rates asymmetry with the Intel card increases a lot according to the distance from the router. Right now, I'm doing another test between the laptop (Intel) and the games computer (cable). This time the laptop is in the same location where the desktop computer is located (and away from...

Sorry, but I expressed myself wrong. I meant that, when using cables, the download rate equalled the upload rate. So there are not problems with that. Thanks.
