Please bring 5G to WiFi 6e

Hi, Netgear,

 

Can you bring 5G to WiFi 6e mesh system, basically something like NBK752 but with WiFi 6e instead if just WiFi 6?

 

Thanks,

Yen-Ming

    5Ghz is already built in to the WiFi 6 and and 6E specs. 6 is just a AX mode. 6E is 6Ghz over AX mode. 

    Once products are built and release, nothing new can be added like 6Ghz as that takes a HW change. 

  • Yeah, so what I mean is to release a new product, which is similar to NBK752 but supports both 5G and WiFi 6e.

  • MR6500 is indeed a mobile router that supports both 5G and WiFi 6e, but not included within Orbi mesh system.

    What I am looking for is similar to NBR750 with WiFi 6e, so it will support 5G and WiFi 6e, and work with other mesh satellites.

     

    The end-goal is to cover all my working area (mesh), with fastest possible speed (WiFi 6e) and can failover to cellular network (5G) if the primary connection is down.
