rckrz6 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 I noticed; Enable OFDMA in 2.4ghz Enable OFDMA in 5ghz Enable MU-MIMO Are turned off by default, is there a reason for this, is enabling them going to cause any kind of issue or really have any real benefit I've never seen a router disable MU-MIMO by default but i'm new to Wifi 6 and there may have been changes since wifi 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfie Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Not many devices use Mu Mimo so it’s down to what you have but you can tick it on and it will not cause issues but for this to work you need devices that are compatible. https://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless/wireless-features/33100-why-you-don-t-need-mu-mimo you can enable OFDMA if you wish as it should be fine even if you don’t have AX devices, of course you will gain nothing but it should run fine.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 24, 2020 Administrators Share Posted October 24, 2020 Good advice as above! I'm not sure exactly why they're disabled by default, maybe they thought not many people will have compatible devices from the offset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they will enable it after a while as that they did with the RAX120. Netduma Fraser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it took about a year for AX to become default on the RAX120 . If the XR1000 comes as a AC router at the moment and you could turn on AX I imagine this will eventually have AX turned on by default once the bugs have been fixed in a firmware update sometime in the future. Turning on AX is only worth it if you have an AX device really, but it does no harm having it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rckrz6 Posted October 24, 2020 Author Share Posted October 24, 2020 The third core also doesn't seem to do anything but its possible the GUI only runs on 2 cores Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 24, 2020 Administrators Share Posted October 24, 2020 The third is dedicated to packet acceleration so you probably won't see that one move as much as the others. Newfie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So kinda dual core with the third core for just packet acceleration then at 1.5Ghz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
