    802.11AC= 1 Antenna is 433Mbps
    Macbooks uses 3 antenna = 433Mbps*3 = 1.3Gbps
    Windows laptops uses 2 antennas = 433Mbps*2 = 876Mbps
    1.3Gbps and 876Mbps are the throughput of both TX/RX, so you gotta half that for expected iperf testing,
    These are real world,
    1.3Gbps/2 = 650Mbps
    876/2 = 433Mbps
    Macbook sometimes reach 900Mbps on wifi, so its within the range of 650Mbps-1.3Gbps due to wifi's half-duplex nature.
    Now, for Wifi 6,
    (Wifi 6) 802.11AX= 1 Antenna is 600Mbps
    Plugging in AX200 intel gives you 2 of it,
    600Mbps*2 = 1.2Gbps
    Both I said up till now are running on 80Mhz. IF your client/server/router/ap supports 160mhz, it will double the throughput from 1.2Gbps to 2.4Gbps. =)
    TLDR,
    802.11AC 80Mhz = 1 antenna = 433Mbps
    802.11AC 160Mhz = 1 antenna = 876Mbps > also known as (Wave 2)
    802.11AX 80Mhz = 1 antenna = 600Mbps
    801.11AX 160Mhz = 1 antenna = 1.2Gbps
    Macbooks = 3 antenna
    Windows laptops = 2 antenna
    Side note, iphones and samsung has only 1 antenna wifi 6. Kinda ironic how many antenna they use for cellular.

      Great explanation.
      I have a laptop with the ax200 and I can definitely saturate a gigabit connection from an access point with a 2x2. We finally have actual gigabit (+) wifi!

  • @jdl3408
    @jdl3408 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    You need 3x3 and wide channels (80 or even 160 MHz) for the really high performance ax, the ax200 chipset is 2x2 while your MBP may be 3x3 depending on the year and model. You also need a pure ax client environment (on a particular radio) to really see the full benefits of ax. If you have an non-ax clients, disconnect them from the access point you’re using for testing.

    • @JeffGeerling
      @JeffGeerling  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah, I'm finding that most of the devices that actually do really well on ax (though I haven't tried them personally) have had their antenna configuration changed to support it better. I'd be _really_ interested in seeing how the WiFi 6 in the new Apple Silicon M1 Macs performs, since Apple seems to devote a lot more time to the wireless testing/certification on their laptops.

    The TPM is the Trusted Platform Module and is used for a wide variety of security and cryptography tasks. One such task is ensuring sensitive data is removed from RAM during shutdown. This *might* be why you're having a shutdown issue, but I wouldn't expect it to.
    Side note: Trusted Platform Module Module not detected.

    I did this mod on 9350 model. The wifi worked fine on Ubuntu and win 10. Bluetooth worked good on Ubuntu too. My only issue was win 10 kept throwing a code 43 error in device manager for bluetooth. New and old drivers made no difference. If I reinstalled the drivers, bluetooth will work fine until a reboot and the error code 43 pops up again. I don't use windows that much so I just gave up trying to fix it.

    The problem with shutting down the BIOS exists since the 2015 model. Back then, I concluded is an engineering problem either on the Dell motherboard or by the c-states on the Intell CPU. When the 2017 model came out, I was surprised to see that the issue was still there. Not sure which model you have, but I never found a fix. BIOS updates never worked for me either.

  • @devdylan6152
    @devdylan6152 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    um, I worked for Dell pro support up until a few months ago, the reason your laptop keeps turning of and on again is actually more than likely 1 of 2 things. on the dell drivers page make sure you go to the chipsets or just browse all of the drivers for a "virtual button"(may include the word controller) from intel, some of the xps 13 have a firmware for the button assembly that is controlled by a intel chip because they included "human detection" featured so if you go to turn it off but the human presence sensor on it is detecting your presence if kicks it back on..... the other is a need to actually do a bios rollback. Honestly the BIOS on dell systems tend to be really.... less than ideal.... but thats just my opinion as someone who had to work with them all the time.

    I'm sorry, but the AX Raspberry Pi idea won't work (yet), unfortunately.
    The EDUP adapter uses an Intel AX200 (one of the very few AX PCIe modules available on the market right now).
    These modules do not support "IR" mode or initiate radiation mode, which is required for access point operation.
    With a bit of firmware hacking, I was able to run these modules as an AC access point, but got very unstable connections and only ~400 MBit/s of throughput.
    As far as I'm aware, there's no good solution for AX APs yet, the ath11k and MediaTek drivers both are very alpha still and the modules are pretty much unavailable.
    I love WiFi 6, but it's still a bit too early.

    High internet speeds can be CPU limited, you can try increasing the jumbo packet size.
    With that said, WIFI6 isnt anything special imo, it would really only be useful with a lot of WIFI devices connected to the router that actually use the AX band.
    My FIOS Router and Extender are WIFI6 Capable and the only real difference between the previous router and extender is the WIFI range is a bit better than before.

    • @JeffGeerling

      Yeah I know on the Pi itself, irq interrupts cause the limits until you use jumbo frames. I don't think the intel processor in the 9360 is the limiting factor in this case, but I should probably also test with a gig e adapter too.

    Wyse Tiger was a terrible flavor for a potato chip, IMHO. When I see these laptop repairs (and having done my own for random Dells over the years), I think about how many of these are done an hour in the factories, and that some factory worker with a hairnet can assemble and disassemble laptops with a speed I could only imagine. I am also fearing an invisible audience of those factory workers are jeering me from this imaginary audience. "BOO! You are so SLOW, Grig! No, no, the LEFT screw FIRST, then the right... gaaaaah! This guy, amirite?"

      WiFi 6 only works on 2.4 and 5 GHz channels; WiFi 6E works on 6 GHz (in addition to the other two).
