Replacement for R7800

There is a whole thread about ax vs ac.

[Solved] 802.11ax worse than 802.11ac with mt76 driver?

@nbd just updated the m76 drivers both on master and on 22.03 branch. I'll do a new build to check if any of the new changes might possibly have improved the 802.11ax issues. EDIT: unfortunately my use case (iPhone across 1 wall) is still very bad with 802.11ax even with the updated mt76 driver (Redmi AX6S 22.03-r19652-e0832778a3). Other non-Apple devices are also affected but to a lower degree. Anyway in all devices 802.11ac still has a significant better performance than 802.11ax across 1 bri…

In particular, speeds seem to drop strongly at certain distance and across 1 wall with worse performance as compared to ac mode (both stock and OpenWRT) or ax mode using stock firmware.
