- Wireless Standard: BE, AX, AC, N (The wireless networking protocol used by the device. Each iteration of the protocol is based on the 802.11 standard developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standards Association. Denoted by letters following 802.11 (802.11a, 802.11ac, etc.), each version, published in alphabetical order, encompasses all previous versions.)
- Adapter Type: Wireless
- Antenna Type: External
- Frequency: 6.0 GHz, 5.0 GHz, 2.4GHz Digital (A measurement of the electromagnetic radio waves a device emits.)
- USB Generation: USB 3.0 (The specification (generation) of the USB standard. Generations are backwards compatible with previous specifications (provided that those devices have the necessary adapter to accommodate the connection type).)
- Wireless Networking Standard: Wi-Fi 7 (The wireless networking standard used by the device. Each iteration of the standard developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance corresponds to an existing IEEE 802.11 protocol; for example, standard 802.11ac (or AC) is termed Wi-Fi 5. Refers specifically to the standard the device is designed to use, but ultimately determines product interoperability and backward compatibility including previous versions.)
