Today’s program audio:
router should I buy WiFi5 or WiFi6? Maybe this is the biggest headache when you buy a router.
We use IxChariot software to test 5G , LAN, P40, iPhone11, Xiaomi 10 in different modes, and test each other's throughput, check the actual transmission rate on the test, and calculate the improvement rate.
Let me start with the conclusion: Limited by the Gigabit wired network, the current WiFi6 router cannot perform 100% performance. The overall increase in multi-threaded transmission is about 30%, which is full, while the single-thread can increase by about 20%.
The following is the actual measurement comparison data:
WiFi 5G network card For WiFi5G network card transmission, the single thread can increase by 27%-37%, and the multi-thread can reach 64%-65%
WiFi5G network card for network cable transmission When it is still single-threaded, the improvement is not much, at 17%-31%, and multi-threading is at 32%-74%.
uses Huawei P40 for network cable transmission, and the single-threaded improvement is 26%-39%. Multi-threaded at 27%-28%
uses iPhone11 to transmit on network cable, single-threaded increases at 8%-39%, multi-threaded at 28%-53%
uses millet 10 pairs of network cable transmission, single thread The improvement is 4%-28%, and the multi-threading is 22%-42%.
From the throughput test, it is limited by the gigabit wired network. The transmission speed of WiFi6 is higher than WiFi5. It can be seen that we use more Single-threaded transmission,The increase is only about 20%, and the multi-threading increase is more obvious, at about 30% or even 70%.
Let's take a look at the actual download rate of Thunder?
The actual increase in Thunder download is about 10%, and only the peak rate can reach 30% under 5G.
Finally, we use p40, iPhone11, Xiaomi 10, and notebook network card AX200 to perform gigabit broadband speedtest. There are restrictions on uploading. Just look at the download here. The p40 supports WiFi5 and can also reach high speeds. Other iPhone11, Xiaomi 10 and network cards can increase by 23%-39%.
After summing up all the data, we came to the conclusion that we gave at the beginning. You can choose according to your needs! And everyone needs to wait until WiFi 6 needs all the devices in the network to support it to achieve complete functions. If there are incompatible devices, then there is no point in changing to a WiFi 6 router.
Next, we recommend six products for everyone to choose from:
1. Huawei AX3 Pro 349 yuan
Huawei AX3 Pro uses its own Lingxiao processor, which is a bit hot, but the overall performance is good. Overall, it is ranked sixth. If there are more Huawei devices in the home, the compatibility will be better, and the unique NFC pairing connection is very convenient.
2. Xiaomi AX1800 329 yuan
Although the parameters of the Xiaomi AX1800 are not high, the 2.4G and 5G signals and coverage are more balanced. The actual
performance is better than the redmi shell product AX5 is strong.
3. TP LINK XDR6030 549 yuan
TP LINK’s products have always been pragmatic,The disassembly looks cheaper, but the antenna welding on the motherboard is more reliable, and there is no signal attenuation. The measured performance of XDR6030 is very outstanding. It currently ranks third in the Zhidian ranking, second only to ASUS AX88U, and even cheaper than Xiaomi AX3600.
4. Xiaomi AX3600 599 yuan
ranks fourth in the Zhidian performance rankings. The 600 yuan gear is more cost-effective. After changing the team, the stability can be guaranteed. Qualcomm chip solutions are used, and the chip computing power ranks high. 2.4G two signal amplifiers , 5G four signal amplifiers, separate smart hardware antenna, it is easier to use the more Mijia hardware at home.
5. ASUS AX3000 769 yuan
ASUS AX3000 is now more recommended, positioning the mid-end to reduce the price, the configuration must be castrated, 1.5Ghz three-core processor, support 160MHz bandwidth 2*2MIMO, 80MHz 4*4MIMO. 256Mb flash memory, 512M memory, the firmware is relatively high in playability.
6. ASUS AX86U 1449 yuan
Compared with AX88U, 2.4G chip has shrunk to Broadcom BCM6710, using conventional 4*LAN port, ASUS AX86U is more recommended than AX88U, after all, 8 LAN ports The demand is relatively small. In contrast, the AX86U equipped with a 2.5G network port can maximize the speed of its own gigabit broadband. The advantage of ASUS is that it can brush Merlin firmware to enhance scalability.
