To be fair, beamforming is a thing now on some consumer wifi 6 routers.
- e12e 6y agoYes, but it still doesn't magically give you 1gbps full duplex across 10 devices. On the other hand, you probably don't need that. See my other comment for more pointers on this. I'm guessing that as we transition to wifi 6 aps and clients - we're likely to get "good" enough networking from wifi for many (most?) applications. But I still expect eg: backing up 10 desktops in an office to a NAS will be a much better fit for wired network, than wireless - especially if done in parallel with other day-to-day traffic.
- fomine3 6y agoYou mean OFDMA? Beam forming is already done on cheaper 11ac APs.
