WiFi 6E when?
When do you think we will see Orbi AX with 6E in the market? Do you think it would support 160Mhz instead of RBR850 supports only 80Mhz for clients with 6Ghz?

Current Orbi AX doesn't support 6E, will be new chipset and HW.

TP-Link is about to launch it.
So I hope Netgear will launch Orbi 6E soon too.

Might be good, though nothing on the client side that supporting of 6E as of yet.
I would avoid anything TP-LInk.
Good Luck.
- AwesomeQAAug 02, 2020ApprenticeSure, TP-Link isn’t the best option to go for.
As RBR50 and RBR850 used Qualcomm.
I can’t wait for Orbi 6E from it.

I would expect anything until maybe later this year or next. Orbi AX 6 is on NGs mind currently. I presume maybe some early development at some level but won't be anything until later on. Would need some beta testing as well before going to market. Just nothing on the client side for supporting it right now. Like AX was past year or two. AX is just getting going and seems to be getting a good running start. 6E will be complete new HW. :smileywink:
