The Wi-Fi technology has certainly benefited from the decision of the Wi-Fi Alliance consortium last year to replace the traditional 802.11xx standard names with simple and understandable generation numbers — 4, 5, 6, and so on. This is partly because the long-dormant topic of Wi-Fi has suddenly surged in popularity: news, reviews, and opinions are everywhere, including .
Meanwhile, although has not yet been officially adopted, it is already beginning to be implemented in hardware — like at KDPV, for example, with the Intel logo.
The Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 adapter (project codename Cyclone Peak) was released in a short M.2 card form factor and is designed for portable computers (supported operating systems: Windows 10, 64-bit, Google Chrome OS, Linux). The maximum theoretical data rate is 2.4 Gb/s.
