This may be an unpopular opinnion.. Let me get this straight. We get big tech corporations to read the articles of the web and then summarize to me, the user the info I am looking for. Sounds cool, right? Yeah, except that why in the everloving duck would I trust Google, Microsoft, Apple or Meta to give me the correct info, unbiased and not curated? The past experiences all show that they not do the right thing? So why is everyone so OK with what's going on? I just heard that Google may intend to remove sources. Great, so it's like trust me bro.

I tested the Intel BE200 and the Qualcomm NCM865 using the EnGenius ECW536 and these are the results that I got.

Or you can just downvote away. Feedback be damned.

The video is about testing WiFi 7 devices using the BE200... Clickbait implies deception. Did you have a different experience with a WiFi 7 AP or router? That's the point of this video, a discussion on whether I missed something and find out why things aren't better.

If you were planning to get an Intel WiFi 7 PCI adapter, watch this video first. I checked the single-client throughput using both BE200 and a WiFi 6E adapter. And the results were .... underwhelming.

Is this Markiplier?

I agree that it's very early to go with WiFi 7 at the moment. The issue that I have with the current situation is that Qualcomm managed to make a Wi-Fi 7 adapter which apparently works with AMD and Intel, while the BE200 is 'locked' to their platform only. They didn't even go with CNVi this time. It's just strange and may sway people towards a certain platform due to a simple compatibility issue like this.

It seems that Intel is gatekeeping WiFi 7 and I analyzed the options that we currently have.

Since it seems that the link has been removed, I will try to add it in the comments: https://www.mbreviews.com/asus-rt-ax88u-pro-wifi-6-router-review/ What a strange occurrence

I recently finished testing the ASUS RT-AX88U Pro and you can see for yourself the results that I got.

But this is not entirely the point of this post. The problem is that the search engines have become weird, so I need to ask you, the user, if this type of content is useful.

So please let me know if the type of tests that I ran are useful and clear enough. If I can add something or need to remove specific info.

I also intend to move towards video format and to be honest, translating all this written info into a comprehensive video is incredibly overwhelming.

Which is why I need your advice about what needs to be improved. Thank you!

Ah. So just a couple of whale hunting seasons away from extinction.

Yeah well.. Nuclear is too expensive and now I heard another rethoric on how renewables are not making enough profit to be worth it for the big companies. We’re going in circles before these people admit that coal and gas won’t be replaced by anything.

Oh, I agree wholeheartedly that collecting the data is not that much fun, especially since yes, I will have to do it. But I think users may benefit to see if the non-enterprise wireless routers can accomplish a certain task. For example, can that expensive Netgear router actually handle four client devices streaming 4K at the same time? What if we add browsing in the mix? The point of this thread was to get an idea if it's actually worth running these tests (which take quite a bit) and if people are interested in seeing this type of data on the web.

I asked this same question on Reddit and I got zero engagement, so perhaps Lemmy has people that care more about their hardware.

I recently decided to use some of the tools provided by Mr Salter (netburn) and I have to ask the community if you want to see multi-client stress tests (4K streaming, VoIP, web browsing) used on a wireless router or if the single-client iperf tests are good enough. Bear in mind that pretty much all publications that still test their devices (most don't) rely on the single-client test method.

I won’t go very deep into this and will make a very simple case to understand the issue. Let’s say I decide to buy testing equipment for a certain type of devices. I run these tests and then I document my findings on a personal website. I then get remunerated for my original work either by using affiliation or ads. Or both since this is a very common way to monetize a website. Then comes Google which takes the content and shows it before the user has the chance to click and go to the website. Additionally, Bard doesn’t even reference the original work, it claims it’s its own. The consequence is that I will stop testing those devices and the Internet will lose valuable original content. And let’s not forget that Google shamelessly pushed its services above the organic websites, but that’s another whole big can of worms.

The house prices decreased in Italy? I don’t think so. I followed the market for more than two years and I can see an increase.
