In terms of range, throughput remains fairly stable until signal attenuation drops below -60 dB. At -76 dB, the smartphone struggl a bit, which is understandable since it’s old and barely functional, but the other two clients did surprisingly well.

Now that we’re done with the single-client tests, let’s look at how well the RT-AXE7800 handles multiple clients, focusing c level contact list on latency. I us the same set of clients as before, and the same server PC, but I includ signal attenuation measur at each client level to get an idea of ​​the amount of interference I was dealing with.

And yes, I us the same open source tools develop by Jim Salter that you can use too. You can get them on GitHub. Now let’s get start with parallel 1080p streaming on five client devices.

We want latency to be below 50ms all the time, but only two clients stay around that value 75% of the time. Both slowly increas to 70ms for about 95% of the time, with a peak above 100ms for 5% of the time. That’s not going to small resistance to big tech – switching to signal be bad performance, but the other three client devices tend to approach 100ms at least 10% of the time, so you might see some buffering if you tri to stream some 1080p video on a similar set of clients. Let’s push things a bit and run 4K streaming on the same 5 client devices.

Unsurprisingly, latency increas for all clients, with the same devices struggling to stay below 100ms 75% of the time. The rest didn’t care fresh list and exce that limit, so it’s best to limit the number of clients if you want good performance. Or just move some clients to the 6GHz network if that standard is support.

Next, I want to see if the router could handle 1080p streaming and heavy browsing running on five client devices at once. And as you can see, 1080p streaming was handl quite well on the WiFi 6E and WiFi 6 clients, which only exce 100ms 1% of the time, while the two WiFi 5 clients struggl a little more.
