WIFI on iPhone 11

I'm thinking of buying a NetGear router but I can't find if the iPhone 11 has 1024QAM wich would be a deciding factor an the buy

Does anyone know about this?

    What kind of Netgear wireless router do you have in mind?

     

    As per the iPhone 11 Tech Specs it does support "802.11ax Wi‑Fi 6 with 2x2 MIMO". The WiFi 6 (802.11ax) standard does imply support of 1024-QAM - this is what makes the ~25% higher data rates possible at the end of the day.

     

    What expectations do you have from using the iPhone 11 on your prospective new wireless device?

     

    It's not Netgear's responsibility that Apple is very stingy on providing complete tech specs.
