Greetings Peeps. I need yall's help! So for my Masters Thesis i need access to a 802.11ax router with 8x8 MIMO on the 5ghz band. The only option that i have come across is the Netgear RAX120 . The other flagship options dont have the Qualcomm modem that supports 8x8 MIMO, but use Broadcom chips that only do 4x4. Turns out the Router is not going to be "SOLD". The only way is to get it through the Netgear Primier Beta. https://www.netgear.com/landings/premier/ Im not sure how this works.ive signed up for it in the above link but some already have it as i've seen an unboxing video of it on youtube. Im assuming its a signup after which a select few will receive invites? Can someone shed more light on this ? if it indeed is a lottery invite system, would any of you be willing to signup on my behalf and help me get my hands on the router so i can Graduate? It will really help me out. Thanks in advance guys.

It’s unusual to need such details for a Masters thesis since 802.11ax isn’t fully standardized yet, and most routers aren’t confirmed compatible. There are also no 802.11ax clients available that I’ve found, making it hard to know exactly what you’ll be working with.

The client device will be another 802.11ax router wired to a PC ,configured as a media bridge, possibly an rax80(or any ax router). Also , the SD855 on the upcoming Galaxy s10 will support ax. The only device that supports all features from the most recent IEEE draft is the RAX120(only consumer unit to use the Qualcomm chip) which is why I'm in desperate need of it. Could you check out the link above and confirm my doubts that it is a lottery system for invites?

I recommend reviewing the detailed terms for that router. The specifications mention it doesn't meet certain requirements outlined in the 3.0 IEEE 802.11AX draft, including Uplink OFDMA, Target Wake Time and BSS Coloring.

Aren't all those features stuff that's coming in wave 2 so NONE OF THEM will support it this year?

Asus states that the data they used to promote for their ax11000 is "uplink OFDMA." This suggests the device supports this feature. The information isn't directly confirmed, but footnotes in the ax-section mention it for uplink OFDMA.

I'm not sure if anyone will be interested, but I've collected all the necessary hardware. IPERF time. Anyone has something they'd like tested? Please let me know!

You chose the Rax120 after your tests.
