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?
- I think the biggest deal near term at least with WiFi 6E will be a 6ghz backhaul. Will take years for enough WiFi 6E clients to filter in, but that will be an immediate improvement for mesh networks.
6E will be a whole new product.

Look like it so far:

To add to Mr. Furryes' Wiki Post: IEEE_802.11ax
Although, excerpt from the above: "The 802.11ax (WiFi6) standard is expected to be published in February 2021."
Will be interesting to see who comes out with the client HW.

At the bottom of the page I linked to above is quite a list, in the 4 major categories, of "Devices", including Chipsets that are out by what manufacturer that are capable of the newer tech.
