Once they will start making 5/6GHz IoT, then it might be a problem indeed, but now and next year or so, no.
Not my worry anyway as capacity is not my problem.Īnybody using office deployments, would probably look for something with more chains/capacity and surely not "cheap" wifi 6 routers.įor me, I do not need anything more than I have now, even having most mobile devices 6Ghz compatible. Although Audience has more chains than rb4011 so in theory can handle more clients but has less cpu power. Simply wifi is for mobile and IoT devices.Īlso to be clear, Audience/RB4011 are not commercial wifi devices, from my perspective they are home/very small office (<10 people). I know you will say wifi6 is about capacity now, but reality is that most of devices in "crowd" are on 2.4 bands (almost all IoT) while 5/6ghz are only devices like laptops and mobiles, which you have few at home and it is doubtful you are using them all the same time.Īlso if anybody is real about gaming/work/movies/audio and using PCs/Xbox/SonyPS/TVs/Streamers they must be using wired connections (for example 10gb switches) and forget about using wifi/power plugs for it. To be clear I am not talking about phy speed, talking about real data transfers measured with iperf. Rest is 2.4Ghz (approx 25 devices) or wired (approx 10 devices).
#Mikrotik support full
Regarding my tests, I am getting sustained 570Mbit (max 638Mbit recorded) with iperf3 on 2 chain MBP Pro with M1, sitting 2 rooms away from Audience- two walls away, doors shut!Īlso tested running full load using iPhone and MBP pro simultaneously, which resulted in total transfer bandwidth of about ~560MBit, so no "capacity" issue for such a home user as I am.
Also those who complain about MikroTik, I would encourage to read some other forums like Ubiquiti and you will see they are not really so good and many users are suffering really slow performance, for which they have not found the fix yet. For those who are complaining about wifi6 etc, I would encourage you watch few REAL reviews (not sponsored) of some "relatively cheap" wifi 6 routers from big brands (including Ubiquiti) for same price range as MikroTik (~$150) and then run similar benchmarks using MikroTik Audience/RB4011 using wifiwave2 impl with wifi 5 and you will see that wifi 6 is not that big thing really and in fact Unifi 6 especially is doing poor job in my opinion (I would not use it, even if cheaper in fact).
