The main target is solving the selection of GHz, unsure will it solved the problem of bad configuration or not.

For example, my TM University having renew of WiFi like 6 years ago, they put too much AP and each other interference like butterfly effect, causing whole WiFi near shut down for most building, even 5GHz got issues(but still online), lucky Android phone can select/limit to 5GHz only at that time. tongue.gif
Final solution is they turn off certain AP in between as monitor mode, solved.
(The problem of too much budget, each small room each AP, with thin wall, lol laugh.gif )

So as u can see, if they really fixed the "Auto" as default issues, it surely bring down the setup and experience of average customer that know near nothing for WiFi.

But yes, that will be after 3 years, WiFi 7 have been supported by default on each smartphone la....

Same story if you are in supermarket. All the small shop got their own modem. All the AP and mess up my portable modem. The best put in auto mode then the modem will set it self the less congested frequency.

If you’re upgrading from a free WiFi 6 router from ISP to even an entry level WiFi 7 router, even your old WiFi 6 device will experience a 20-30% speed improvement

That’s because of a new router comes with better WiFi components and all of them benefit older devices as well

Will it be OK to mix a Wifi7 node and a 6E main router under AiMesh?

It is already auto mode, each reboot will change channel, but the same channel of signal passthrough the wall too easy, they can solve it by limiting 2.4G 20M to certain range of AP while 5Ghz 40M for all AP, or even 20M if they prefer more 5GHz users per AP + more AP using different channel.
Also yes, lower TX power la, but that team of peoples' skill level is too low, they even perform test in a silent quiet room in corner, without any full room around, then said speed no problem, full speed.... tongue.gif
(Got invited, boring and go to learn how they perform test, lol)
Max budget for devices, but weak team, aiyo, then hopeless to TM as seeing them outsource like this...

Even got someone evil, using windows laptop connect to the AP in library, then create a strong signal of hotspot with same SSID but different password, blocking all people around, taken whole WiFi resource as him alone.
Very shitty I tell you... sweat.gif
(Ignore more stupid people stealing those big 4 antenna from AP, lol...)

Yes, Android phone also same, the auto failed to detect congested ch, same to Windows's hotspot.
Need to reenable again and again, or connect to a 5GHz WiFi/Hotspot, then enable it, aiya.
---
So yes, the main problem is still the fail of default AUTO, not the generation of WiFi x.
With the WiFi 6 getting famous, now they are a lot of new stupid going around 160M without the need of it... doh.gif

Hoping them jumping back 80M during congested night hour when everyone at home, is just a pure luck, lol.

Yup, works well.

Cross model compatibility is great on their Broadcom CPU based models.

Eyeing BE98 for my new home. Wish to use wired backhaul and multi-gig LAN.
Actually if I get a switch in the mix, probably will have more options.

My mi cr6608 (5GHz HE80) (which cost only rm170) can ran 800Mbps as a wifi access point.

My dads xiaomi used to keep phoning home to Chinese servers everyday and gets blocked by my ips

And after the github leaks there’s no way I’d let any mainland brand be my router. Have more faith in the Taiwanese

I honestly can’t say, from the github leaks most of what it looked like was some sort of permanent hardware solution, something which isn’t in the software and would not be affected by flashing firmware, but I think there isn’t much to worry about, unless you are constantly talking about tiananmen square and then travelling to china

Are we talking about backdoor(routers)or native tracker on devices?

Any advantage in getting a WiFi 7 router in Malaysia? Tri band WiFi 7 has speeds up to 19 GB but our ISPs in Malaysia download speed maximum is 2GB and majority of people probably subscribe to 500 Mbps or 1 Gbps plans.
*
Yes, even in other countries who provide 19Gbps to household smile.gif However, if you have many interconnecting devices in house that are transferring data to each other, then it is still beneficial.

If you have extra money to spend on it, you can still upgrade. There is still benefit to it. The higher the capacity, the more challenging to design the circuit board because the board has to have lower noise to handle much more complex modulation for example. By doing so, the quality of signal received at lower speed is also improved. I can bet that link speed would also improved compare to your previous router.

Me, I just wait until price drop when new one enter market laugh.gif

It is linked to its cloud based control app services which is DDNS based.

Just like many IP-based CCTV cams out there which no longer needs public IP.

The purpose is to control your modem/CCTVs outside from your phone even when behind private IP based home connections.

We already live in a cloud based era where devices now works behind private IPs. Why Malaysians still so backdated one? laugh.gif

What cloud based service? Xiaomi account was not activated

I also have a dahua ip based cctv, use it outside of home daily, no issues. I also use more than 4TB a month, but the only hits on the firewall (outgoing) are from the xiaomi connecting to known “blacklisted” IP’s.

Did you even read the github leak? Bro risked his life and you’re justifying it as a ddns service 💀😂

As someone that works as a sales in SI, I don’t even want to use these cloud stuff in my own home environment lmao

I already found my answers.See the second post.

I did use adblocklean and stubby(DOT to cloudflare) install on my router.

However, OpenWrt is likely more secure than the vendor provided firmware you may have on your devices now.
