We performed a speed test on the R730 802.11ax AP and Samsung S10 using the Ruckus Speedflex App. Uplink speeds are in the 1Gbps class and downloads remain in the 400-500 Mb / s class, this difference is due to the phone's ability to handle high speeds. It is probable that such speeds have never been tested at the manufacturer.

The R610 is the second most popular Ruckus AP in Estonia and is suitable for larger companies and Wi-Fi hotspots in public spaces. It is a 3: 3x3 MIMO device with a very precise BeamFlex + controllable directional antenna solution.

In fact, there are no 3x3 MIMO client devices on the market. However, the BeamFlex + random directional antenna has a significantly better number of directional diagrams and zero position …

Creating access

First, we connect to the ICX switch through the console. We make the physical connection with a standard USB cable with a USB-C connector on the switch side, the same cable used to charge newer phones.

The first setting is to assign a management IP to the switch and activate the web interface. Mgmt IP becomes 192.168.3.19, subnet /24, gateway 192.168.3.1 and we create a certificate.

Although MESH connections have been in use since the second generation of Wi-Fi, it's only with the advent of the 6G 802.11ax standard has a new quality emerged.
