Disclaimers
- †Maximum wireless signal rates are the physical rates derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Actual wireless data throughput and wireless coverage are not guaranteed and will vary as a result of operation systems and access point limitations. The 160 MHz bandwidth might not be available on the 5 GHz band in some regions/countries due to regulatory limits on the spectrum, hence the theoretical speeds may vary.
- ‡Use of WPA3 requires APs to also support the corresponding feature.
- △Use of WiFi 7 (802.11be), WiFi 6E (802.11ax), WiFi 6 (802.11ax), and other features including MLO, 4K-QAM, Multi-RUs, OFDMA, MU-MIMO requires the operation systems and access points to also support the corresponding features.
