To handle the many devices in today’s households, the Archer AX50 supports OFDMA, MU-MIMO, and BSS Color, which increases its device capacity by 4 times. This technology also contibutes to providing ultra-low latency; up to a 75% reduction compared to non ODFM-compatible devices.

Is this the first announced AX router with OFDMA support?

This is not the first announced AX router to claim OFDMA support. ASUS claimed OFDMA support for the RT-AX58U back in January. Edimax released a press release "launching" the BR-6473AX back in May claiming OFDMA support. These both use the same Intel radio hardware as this AX50. None of these devices are actually available to purchase yet.

The Netgear Nighthawk AX4 (RAX40) also uses the same Intel radio chipset and it is actually available for purchase. Netgear also claims OFDMA support on the RAX40 product page.

From what I've read here many vendors have been claiming OFDMA support when it doesn't actually work in the products.
