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?

Yes, it will be pricey, but will also push the competition.

WiFi 6E is getting closer now.

      Hi,

      Could this year end bring some ' positive ' news for Wifi 6E ... or should we all wait for CES 2021 to hope for real new annoucements ...?

        Someone sent me a message about intel AX210 being released in China. Still nothing majorly else where. I would wait till next year for 6E and even then, will be beyond that before lots of items being marketed. I thought I saw Asus coming up with a router with 6E as well. Orbi AX will not see 6E. Requires new HW. :smileyembarrassed:
