Ok thanks just what is the settings here more performance you thinked
One for the Australian's.
ACMA have released a discussion paper and are welcoming consultation submissions as part of considering its approach to 6GHz (5925-7125MHz) bands for use with RLAN (wifi).
https://www.acma.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-04/Exploring-RLAN-use-in-the-5-GHz-and-6-GHz-bands_Discussion-and-options-paper.docx
Several options have been tabled:
- Open the lower 500MHz of the band with revised power limits and/or additional limitations
- Open the entire band for LPI/VLP (low potential interference/very low power) devices
- Open the entire band for standard power devices under a DSA/AFC approach like the US
- (is this like DFS in the 5GHz band?)
Looks like in any case, they are going to move to quickly open the lower 500MHz while considering further approaches.
AVM FRITZ!Repeater 6000
AVM just announced their Fritz Repeater 6000. If box matrix is to be believed (https://boxmatrix.info/wiki/FRITZ!Repeater_6000) it is based upon the IPQ8074 SoC:
- Powerful 4 x 4 tri-band repeater with Wi-Fi 6
- 12 antennas for maximum Wi-Fi range and coverage
- Intelligent Mesh Wi-Fi for multiple mobile devices such as TVs, game consoles
- Extends any Wi-Fi network, from FRITZ!Box to a provider router
- 2.5 Gbit/s and 1 Gbit/s ports for convenient networking
Seems like a nice base for a repeater.
220 euros...a little pricey for a repeater considering for best performance you also need a master device with the same capabilities
even for converting it into a router is pricey
Yes, it is a bit pricey, but it'll probably come down in price. You don't need a main device since these have ethernet ports. But maybe more like an access point than a router.
Either way, IPQ8074 is far from working with OpenWrt
A post was split to a new topic: Searching for developer for ipq8074 / ipq6018 custom board OpenWrt support
Hello everyone, I purchased the Netgear AX1800 (R6700AX) for 99 dollars. I hope this will be one of the new Wifi 6 routers that will be supported. https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-4-Stream-WiFi-Router-R6700AX/dp/B08KTXG8Q5 and tech specs https://www.netgear.com/home/wifi/routers/r6700ax/
I wouldn't hold my breath (Broadcom).
Yeah, I also suggest to throw that one away for good.

I too have just received two LinkSys AX3200 E8450s. How may I assist in building/testing out 802.11ax support in OpenWRT? I have other network and WiFi gear, so this wouldn't be on my prod network.
As i use a Linksys WRT1900ACSv2 with that old and buggy wifi fimware (no WPA3, no MESH ...), i just bought this AVM 6000 as an access point (LAN Bridge) and deactivated wifi on the WRT-Device ....
What can i say: My Lenovo with AX210 gets 930 mbit/s via iperf3 ... awesome ...
930mbps is about line speed for a normal Ethernet connection. A wired one. So that is pretty good for WiFi!
What do you think about Linksys MR7350?
IPQ60xx is not supported by OpenWrt yet, while there is a reasonable expectation that it will be one day, I wouldn't hold my breath (>>6 months, more likely >12 months).
Looks like Linksys took some shortcuts with the e8450, like USB2.0?! And apparently they don't support the 802.11ax/802.11ac standard fully? But perhaps that can be fixed by OpenWrt unless of course it's limited by some half-ass hardware.
Time will tell...
What isn't supported?
If its IPQ60xx then it supports the ratified 802.11ax, so ti has to have all of the features.
It only supports 20 & 40MHz, and not 80 & 160Mhz.
It was just something I read here, it seems odd, I agree.
Thats gotta be just Linksys butchering the FW to make 2 products out of one as IPQ6010 as I tried ath11k on does 80MHz without and issue.
80mhz works on lower bands (36-48) and ac (not on ax, maybe a bug?). Will test the rest over the next days. I can post a iw list if interested. So far i know 160mhz works only on the upper bands.
For me it looks like the device only need some maturity within OpenWRT to show its true potential.
Edit: here is iw list for the E8450:
