ashkan: keep in mind that ath11k /needs/ a lot more RAM than mt76 for itself, so what would otherwise be fine as a 512 MB RAM device with mt76 needs to have 1 GB for ipq807x
<stintel>
haha, that reminds me of the day I discovered ath11k can't work on 256MB devices
<stintel>
while I have 2 11ax MTK APs with 128MB RAM and each 10+ clients doing just fine
<stintel>
I guess the gist is: if you care about customer satisfaction and QoE: MTK, if you care about price and profit: QCA
<slh>
well, ipq807x stll does work quite nicely - as long as it is equipped with the RAM it needs (that is at the very least 512 MB, but you really want 1 GB)
<slh>
it's all a question of what you can get on the market
<stintel>
I mean you're talking at the very least 512MB while my APs do fine with 25% of that
<stintel>
stop sending money to QCA and give it to MTK instead
<slh>
and imho only filogic 830 is interesting enough, to replace an existing (as in 'free', because already paid for) ipq807x device - mt7622bv+mt7915 is a good option for a new buy though (and mt7621a+mt7915 if you just need an AP)
<stintel>
so again, we should all stop sending money to QCA, so MTK can build a new SoC that really kicks QCA's ass, not only on some aspects)
<slh>
https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/staging/blocktrron.git;a=commitdiff;h=a0a066d607905f21859f9e44389ef3fe88f48129 might be such a device
<stintel>
(I'm aware that MTK currently uses mostly old ARM CPUs)
<stintel>
but I rather run a stable previous-gen device than the typical unstable QCA shizzle
<stintel>
look at how long it took for a (3rd party) to add support for QCA AX devices
<stintel>
MTK is doing an unmeasurably better job there
<slh>
admittedly, it could have been merged ~a year earlier - but yes, it took almost 5 years to get ipq807x supported in OpenWrt
<slh>
...and support is (will always be-) lacking hw1.0 support
<stintel>
QCA might theoretically the better performing hardware today, but I'd rather aim for something that is better maintainable in the future (from an OSS standpoint)
<slh>
that#s without a doubt, yes
<stintel>
so probably if you wanna run OpenWrt, say no to QCA and pay a bit extra for MTK
<stintel>
price tag usually isn't very relevant for me
<ashkan>
I mean it doesn't exist on the market (yet?)
<stintel>
ah :)
<stintel>
that makes sense
<stintel>
I'm dreaming of 2 things: EAP615-Wall like 3-band 2x2 w/ 2.5GbE. and its big brother w/ 10GbE, 3-band 4/6/8x ...
<ashkan>
I hope tp-link can get back to the game again. I haven't been hyped about any of their products since wr1043nd and c7
<stintel>
not that I need it, but that's what I think makes sense, and I can't recommend anything to clients if 1/ I don't approve and 2/ I couldn't test
<stintel>
I iperf on my phone at ~800Mbps, and with 1000/600 uplink, that's plenty
<stintel>
but EAP615-Wall is an epic format
<stintel>
I want the next iteration of this product
<stintel>
and what you just shared looks like it might be that, or related
<ashkan>
stintel: there aren't many 2.5GbE switches on the shelves yet though. specially with POE. dlink is still making money off of their Fast ethernet switches
<stintel>
ashkan: I have a 24port 1/2.5/5/10 GbE switch since covid
<stintel>
(PoE++)
<ashkan>
I mean you just said you don't care about the price tag :P
<stintel>
I think it was dual 1150W PSU
<ashkan>
stintel: What brand/model
<stintel>
so I could feed each of those 24 ports with 60W if I wanted to
<stintel>
I can only parse the images unfortunately
<stintel>
but looks good
<slh>
D-Link DAP-X1860 (mt7621a+mt7915DBDC currently on sale for 15 EUR; repeater form factor) is tempting me (yet again)...
<stintel>
sounds similar to EAP615Wall
<stintel>
which I paid >=EUR80
<slh>
wall-wart design, but seems to be nice for that price - https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/openwrt.git;a=commitdiff;h=3c31f6b521bb5fc49e222a8f2bcd454b73452a0e

ashkan: what about the tp-link ax23 blocktrron just added (sure it's just mt7621 with mt7915/mt7905, still)
<djfe_>
the ax53 could also be added, it's also Mediatek based
<djfe_>
in general their Omada seems to run pretty good from I heard, but apart from the eap225 there is no support with openwrt, yet
<djfe_>
(together with wifi controllers and stuff for larger installations)
<djfe_>
let me rephrase: runs pretty well for larger installations, where you also deploy wifi controllers and stuff (but it's all without openwrt then)

Or do most devices come with these in their calibration partition and that's why I can't find "EnGenius-EAP1300" in there?
