> But the older MTK MIPS chips still seem to find a lot of new hardware releases. Yeah the MT7621 is still a popular choice at the lower-end. You'll see it bundled with a WiFi 6 radio sometimes too. You'll see the single-core MT7620 at the even lower lower end as well. > If you see a WiFi 6 AP that only has WiFi6 on 5GHz, and WiFi4/n on 2.4GHz, a good chance it is using a MTK MIPS WiFi 4/n SoC + a MTK WiFi 6 PCIe IC, with the SoC providing 2.4GHz and 5GHz being provided by something like the MT7915 or similar. The Ubiquiti U6 Lite and U6 LR are examples of this, as are the Belkin RT3200 / Linksys E8450. The U6-LR and E8450/RT3200 use the MT7622, which is dual-core ARM Cortex-A53's. The inbuilt 2.4ghz radio is essentially still a MT7615 block doing 4x4 11n though. There's also the MT7986 ("Filogic 830"), which is essentially the same thing but with a 11ax capable radio instead. However I've only seen a couple products using it right now, with quick search reveals one only announced in the last few days too... Edit: Well not really the same thing, it's quad-core, on a smaller process and has revised offload, but you get the gist...
