Mi ax1800 or Cudy wr3000

Hardware Questions and Recommendations
1

Mi ax1800 has IPQ6000 quad-core A53 1.2 GHz CPU and Network Acceleration Engine
Single-core 1.5 GHz NPU

On the other hand cudy wr3000 has Chipset: MT7981
|CPU Details|1.3 GHz Dual-Core, ARM Cortex-A53| which they say is 4nm on their website. But is really the nodes are 4nm?

Both router has same 256 ram. So which router will be better? (Because of some reason i have to use the 80mhz channel and i am looking for good cpu router)
And which cpu performance is good? I tried to find out about these two but didn't got enough information.

Go for WR3000, Mediatek has better support.

... and IPQ6000 support is still WIP.

4

Can you tell me which CPU will perform better?
one has more cores and another has a higher clock speed

5

higher clock speed or more cores doesn't mean it's better ...

MT got hw offloading support, IPQ doesn't.

did I already mention IPQ's unsupported ?

6

yes, u said support is still WIP.

Xiaomi AX3200 has
MediaTek Filogic800 Dual-core A53 1.35GHz CPU also has 5GHz Wi-Fi 4×4 MIMO
but cudy wr3000s has 5GHz Wi-Fi 2x2 MIMO

both are in my budget so which one u suggest for the long term?

Xiaomi AX6S is supported, I assume the AX3200 is the same device ?
It's not using the Filogic target, but MT7622.
Xiaomi often swaps out sub components in their routers, you could end up with a soft brick, flashing is often a PITA too - https://openwrt.org/toh/xiaomi/ax3200.

The Cudy is using the Filogic target, and it's a lot easier to flash - https://openwrt.org/toh/cudy/wr3000_v1.

The Xiaomi appears to have better wifi though.

Also consider the WR3000S which has better hardware than the WR3000, and has just been added to support.

I read some articles on SQM and there saying router with weak cpu and low cores can't handle SQM of 1Gbps . My isp gives 1Gbps download speed only for files which are download cache servers.
So WR3000s has 256 ram and WR3000P has 512 ram. So how much difference it can make?
Not only the SQM. Some other pakages like Adblocker ,irqbalance i will gonna install.
So much difference it can makes.
I am now confuse which one to buy between this two for long term.

SQM doesn't require a lot of RAM, but it uses a lot of CPU.

Adblocker is the opposite, lots of RAM, not much CPU.

is not (yet) supported.

So 1.3Ghz dual is enough for SQM ? ( i only get 1 Gbps download speed while download files from cache servers. And normal raw speed is 100Mbps)

And for 3/4 device is 256 MB ram enough for Adblocker queries ( they will stream FB and yt)?

14

Please re-read this thread, everything has been said already.

MHz and number of cores is not everything for a router.
ipq60xx will not handle routing 1 GBit/s in vanilla OpenWrt, filogic 830/ 820 or mt7622 can.

15

Yeah got that i was comparing the wr3000s and wr3000p (which is not supported yet)
And frollic said the Adblocker does use much ram .256 and 512 Mb for Adblocker package and the queries for 3/4 device (FB & yt).
So i wanted to know 256 Mb ram is enough or not for that?

16

Can't block YT ads using a router based adblocker, if that's your plan.
Don't know about FB, don't use it much.
