Ny AP

Troligen _behöver_ du inte WiFi 6 på ännu några år. Utbudet på WiFi 6 klienter är ännu mycket begränsat.

Routrar/AP:s baseras ännu på draftstandards och har som regel bara implementerat delar av standarden och saknar godsakerna som det skryts om i WiFi 6 tex ODFMA och TWT. När standarden slutgiltigt fastställs (förhoppningsvis i år) kommer det nya/uppdaterade produkter som förmodligen är det bättre köpet för konsumenten. Broadcom har tex presenterat ett SoC för nästa generation WiFi 6-routrar som också ska kunna hantera nyligen annonserade WiFi 6e.

WiFi 6 är alltså fortfarande under arbete och likaså de produkter som lanseras för konsument idag.

Tänkvärt i avslutningen av SNB:s ”What’s missing from your WiFi 6 Router”

The hype machine pushing Wi-Fi 6 has been as shameless as the one behind 5G mobile technology. Both are pushing products that don't really deliver on their breathless promises of higher bandwidth, at least not without a lot of fine-print caveats...if you can find them.

But there's a difference between hype and flat-out misrepresentation. When router makers shipped routers without a key 802.11ac feature—MU-MIMO—working, they provided clear disclaimers, like "MU-MIMO ready". Hell, they even clearly stated in product specs that the products were based on the draft 11ac IEEE spec.

With AX, clear disclosure of product limitations and key missing features appear to be a thing of the past. As I said at the top of this piece, we're into year 2 of manufacturers shipping Wi-Fi 6 consumer routers that still don't support working OFDMA, a key feature of the (still) draft 802.11ax standard. And manufacturers still don't clearly disclose that fact.
OFDMA is featured prominently in product marketing material, but the fact that the product does not yet support it is not. If you can find a disclaimer, it's typically buried deep in a spec sheet footnote, vaguely stated and not even tied directly to the spec it's disclaiming. Nor do marketing material or spec sheets clearly state which Wi-Fi 6 features are supported.

This whole situation stinks and marks a new low in Wi-Fi marketing. So, router makers, it's long past time to come clean and include information on which AX features your products actually support.

Sedan jämför du äpplen o päron, Asusgrejerna är routrar

Jo, det går såklart, det beror ju på vad man vill ha för resultat. Har själv kört med avlagda routrar som AP, men att köpa nya budgetroutrar som billighets-AP skulle jag inte välja själv.
