Just looking forward, when MK will implement this

Well the standard isn’t due until 2019, so don’t hold your breath for anything before 2020.
Only if V7 is out until then.
It is difficult to get 256QAM modulations reliable in uncontrolled environments, I wonder how well 1024QAM will work in the 2.4GHz spectrum?
I guess that will require better filtering and noise cancellation than the current hardware, which should be good news for everyone.
Hopefully they’ll get better out of band emissions, better cut off than the current chips.
Looks like chipsets are already starting to hit the market ahead of the specification finalization. Would be nice if MT was ready with new products when 802.11ax client devices start being produced, they were so late getting on the 802.11ac train - hopefully it won’t also be the case with 802.11ax.
Set dreams…
We Hope to See Wave 2 in the next 6 Month, &02.11ax is far away in the Mikrotik world
Before 802.11n was finalized, a lot of “pre-n” routers shipped. They worked within a vendor’s own world, and might have interoperated. Now we’re seeing pre-ax getting ready to ship.
I don’t think 1024QAM is going to do much good, though on good clean strong 5 GHz PtP links, it could come in handy. The real star of 11ax is likely to be its ability to use selective carriers (OFDMA). So let’s say you want an 80 MHz channel from 5650 to 5730. But there’s crud on 5690-5710. You just select the clean 60 MHz on either side. You can also create narrow bandwidth links if it helps, and have multiple narrow upstream links divide the same bandwidth used for the downstream. LTE does this already.
Looks like 802.11ax consumer devices will be hitting the market later this year. I really hope Mikrotik is working on something too!

I am much more sceptic about this.
I don’t even have ac. Let the wait continue.
You are out of business? You have no competition?
I don’t crave for more speed on my mobile devices.
- 1 Any product from Mikrotik
They could bring ad to home routers before ax.
Really? 160Mhz channels ? they are trying to make 5ghz the new 2.4ghz? or whats the deal?
Any news? ASUS are releasing their RT-AX88U this month which is based on 802.11ax. Would love for Mikrotik to keep up with the home / office wifi space.
Hello, something new?
I would like to know if something is going on.
I just bought some capACs, I really detest the need for companies to find ways to get more dollars, euros, yuan, pesso, rubles, yen, out of my pocket.
is there even any AC pci cards we could test on a routerboard?
There is hardware: https://wikidevi.com/wiki/List_of_802.11ax_Hardware
But you need to convince MT to build a driver.
