C6U has 880 Mhz CPU core while C7 has 750 Mhz CPU core. So I assume SQM will give better results on C6U?
However C6U has MediaTek MT7603E, MediaTek MT7613BE WLAN hardware, would that be a problem in performance?
Lastly, I have no clue why A7 / C7 is prized higher than a C6U when the performance is higher for C6U lol. Any particular reasons to justify these prizes from TP-Link?
Saw your other thread on the A6 V3, and wondered how you knew it was a bug (and filed a bug report 3 hours after posting) with no configs posted for troubleshooting.
The github issue has configs for troubleshooting? and no one has yet asked for config I left out.
The logs clearly indicate there are issues somewhere and there are plenty of threads here from people with similar problems with mt7603e(and the other 5ghz chip)
Just because no one responded in the 3 hours from the time you posted to the time you filed the bug report, didn't mean "no one ever" would ask for configs.
Okay, My bad.
I'll update the thread with the wireless config I posted in the bug report. I can't think of other configs one would need to troubleshoot it but I'll share whichever file someone asks for.
Just did my homework and found that ARM SoCs are better for SQM than MIPS. I am thinking of buying E8450, which is close to 100$ and off my budget, but I guess for a better performance, I have to spend more.
dont do this ..if you are gonna spend that much, buy a nanopi r2s and a good cheap ac router, its the best option if you are spending 100$ in india. according to my opinion. you could go for an D-Link DIR-825 (2199 rs )and a nanopi R2s (6800 rs including metal case and dc adaptor) under 100$ in india.
In the market for a new router stumbled upon this thread when 're searching about the A6 V3.
Seems to be a good choice as the Wi-Fi issues noted above and in the other thread seem to be have been resolved because of some configuration issues around the number of SSIDs.
@RealImmortal
Were you able to find a suitable router available at amazon IN?
I am in the same dilemma.
After Archer C7, there is no fully OpenWRT-compatible router from TP-Link.
I would even buy Archer C7 again, but that's EoL and not available anywhere.
I bought the Linksys E8450 after returning this router... So far Im loving this new one! Openwrt is pretty stable as well! It is pretty expensive though. So if you're looking for a cheaper option, maybe get one of these NanoPi devices and you can use the router you have rn as an access point.
It should fix your bufferbloat issues if you have them
