Hi All,
I have one theoretical question which bothers me lately and I hope you can help me answering it.
I have the following setup: ISP ONT -- x86 ( Fujitsu Futro s920) -- lan-- Xiaomi Ax3000t (2x2 streams - WDS AP)-- WDS -- Cudy Wr3000 (2x2 steams - WDS client)
WDS is working great at the moment by using 160MHz and it keeps around 2,1 Gbits between Cudy and Xiaomi.
However, I bought Zyxel T-56 router (as it was cheap), which is to come in the next days. This router is with 4x4 streams and I want to replace one of the routers I have at the moment with it.
So my question is: which router is better to be replaced by the 4x4 streams router - the AP WDS (Xioami) or the WDS client ( Cudy). Alternatively, I can setup Belkin RT3200 in the WDS which is again 4x4 and replace one of the other routers, but this will be a bit of challenge, as it is not with me at the moment.
So theoretically what is better: to have 4x4 streams as client or as a AP if the other router is with 2x2 streams? My aim is to have the lowest possible latency and stable internet connection to my wired clients on the WDS-client (Cudy) - the Wifi clients are phones and old laptops - so it doesn't really matter.
I was thinking/reading a lot, but with my limited knowledge I am not sure what the correct answer could be.
Thanks

It's better to replace the WDS-AP, than the WDS-client. This way the WDS-AP can still service normal clients alongside and give them the best speed - your WDS-client 'leaf' can only forward at the speed given to it by the WDS-AP.
(given the performance of filogic 830, replacing both futro and xiaomi might by possible).
