Thanks good to know for future purchases, when I googled SHL all I found was swededn hockey league. Ordered mine from Getic last night, was probably 2nd to buy it after infabo, since they had 599/600 stock when I placed order. Will receive it tomorrow or friday, will report back how well it performs.
Thanks for the tips, I was just bemoaning the fact the UK market isn’t interested!
Mikrotik is a dirty word in the UK, not entirely sure why, maybe too many Ubi shills receiving free goods for review.

iperf3 -c server.local -P 5 -t 30 -R
TX power max per regulatory domain, will vary per ch. Tested on multiple chs.
AP around 2m away from STA. STA uses Intel AX210 wlan card whit not that powerful integraded laptop antenas, Fedora linux.
wifi speed tests:
2.4, 20mhz - 150
Power draw: 7w sending
5ghz, 160mhz - avg 800-900, peaks 920 (tops out 1G interface). 70% CPU load , both cores, icq about the same.
5ghz, 80mhz - avg 600-700, peaks 800.
Power draw: 8w sending on widest ch
Power draw idle: 5w
Overall comparing to hap ax3 and cap ax I did feel less powerful antennas, but as you can see, drop is not that much (hap ax3/cap ax pushed about 100mbps more on 80mhz wide ch overall). Otherwise resources are tighter than hap ax3/cap ax, but should not be a problem as this device is meant to be used as AP.
As CPU is limited I dont expect much, there is no switch chip afaik, so there is no way to hw offload it.
Indeed, if not all outdoor ax lineup is based on the same hw design. So base performance/features will be the same, only difference will be signal strength as antenna gain changes. That will impact throughput to a degree and range.
