WIFI 6 with RBK50

Will the current HW of RBK50 supports the Wifi-6 update that will happen end of the year, or there will be a new HW?

Hi HannoosH

 

It will be a different hardware. It is expected to be available in the second half of 2019.

And it might be wise to wait a bit, for bugs to be squished, before shelling out any cash.

    And it's worth checking the fine print - both Wi-Fi 6 platforms Netgear has deployed on the RAX80 (AX8) and the RAX120 (AX12) currently don't fully comply with the formal specs as of writing.
