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?

Look like it so far:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels#6_GHz_(802.11ax)
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.
Liar ia kinda short.
"OTHER COUNTRIES STILL HAVE TO APPROVE UNLICENSED 6GHZ USE"
"And assuming this all does work out, you’ll still have to replace your devices to get the benefit. Current gadgets aren’t set up to use 6GHz networks (it’s largely been illegal to broadcast, after all), so you won’t see the benefits until you buy a new router and a new phone, laptop, or other Wi-Fi-enabled device that can connect to it."
So for users asking about if Orbi AX will be upgraded to 6E...Ah no.
