trying to install mt7610u (linksys ae6000)

Found out why my unit's capped out at 135 Mb/s, while I read others at 400 Mb/s. It's the bandwidth your provider gives you. I have a choice of 20 Mhz or 40 Mhz. Depending on the QAM, 40 Mhz caps out at 200 Mhz. 80 Mhz channels max out at 433.3 Mhz, and 160 Mhz channels max out at 866.7 Mhz. lol.

Code:

The only things I can change in modem, is...

Code:

Wireless Radio Enable = Enabled
Output Power = 100%
802.11 mode = a/n mode
Bandwidth = 40 Mhz (other choice: 20 Mhz)
Sideband = Lower (other choice: Higher)
Channel = 149 (other choice: 36, 44, 157)

Unless it's modem specific, I'd say my provider hasn't caught up to the rest of the world.

Actually.. reading below that chart on wikipedia, it sounds like it is the modem.. or the chipset it uses more specifically..

Quote:Several companies are currently offering 802.11ac chipsets with higher modulation rates: MCS-10 and MCS-11 (1024-QAM), supported by Quantenna and Broadcom. Although technically not part of 802.11ac, these new MCS indices are expected to become official in the 802.11ax standard (2017-2019), the successor to 802.11ac.
