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.
