Hi Erkki,
Thanks for your comments.
A simple test is exactly what I'm after. The Part 1 article was
basically a look behind the scenes to describe why I used the
benchmark I did for the Part2 article. It will compare an AC
router and multiple AX routers. If there's an off-the-shelf
consumer router with that implements SQM/cake on Wi-Fi, I'm happy
to try it. I have an evenroute IQrouter here, but I'm not sure if
it implements SQM on Wi-Fi. I'll ask.

Hi,
thank you for the article, it provided interesting tidbits. What
buffles me (I'm just a smallnet builder not a wifi rf-chip
designer or a wifi firmware writer), why not a simple comparative
benchmark between APs from different generations? Say an AX router
with OFDMA on (no need to rely firmware does the best, if OFDMA
set on or off, very interesting that tests showed differences
between OFDMA on/off and there is a tertiary feature, I think, to
switch it on/off as marketing material and publications to be
taken seriously tout OFDMA is a silver bullet WiFi6 written on
it), an AC router with stock. latest and greatest firmware in it
and an AC router with OpenWRT and SQM/Cake in it. All tree put
through the same tests to reveal differences in throughput,
latency, airtime congestion between STAs and most importantly
previous quatities measured under maximum load.
