Ok, Newsletter launched… Good! Thanks! Will we now go back to releases in the testing chain? Testing is fun, but for production I would be much happier with some kind of long term supported ROS 7 release…

How about, and hear me out, a 6ghz ax AP? :slight_smile:

Any chance we’ll see OFDMA on the 'ax products? I can’t see any mention of this feature in change logs. Almost a year ago I posted ( http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/ofdma-on-the-schedule/176424/1 ) and got zero responses.

OFDMA is part of 802.11ax standard. Why do you doubt it is not already there?

OFDMA is part of 802.11ax standard. And as such it only works when both AP and station are ax (won’t do any good if station is ac only). And will only be able to do something when interference is reasonably strong (not much stronger than received useful signal … so it doesn’t overwhelm receive…

OFDMA is part of 802.11ax standard. Why do you doubt it is not already there? OFDMA is OPTIONAL in 'ax. In many many products it must be forced on. There are some backwards compatability issues/erata when it’s on for older clients so many vendors just don’t implement it at all because they do…

However, the strong interference isn’t really correct. I was talking about AGC of Rx preamplifier. The gain is automatically set according to strongest signal received (in worst case in the whole band, in best case in actual Rx frequency window). Strong interference will cause AGC to reduce gai…

right, wifi6 doesn’t have per-RU output control. We’re waiting ofr wifi8 for that I think. Regardless, it’s a big benefit today because wifi6 (at least on qualcom) has a pretty wide range for optimal SNR, so cranking up the output 5dB is usually pretty tollerable.
