The growing number and variety of connected devices are placing overwhelming demands on home wireless networks. It’s time for a Wi-Fi upgrade.
Introducing Wi-Fi 6 for an “Everything’s Connected” World
Today’s home Wi-Fi experience is hampered by network traffic jams and inconsistent performance. With new Intel® Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+) enabled routers and gateways, customers can reliably access Gigabit and higher Wi-Fi speeds throughout their homes — on all their devices.1
Leading the Way
Intel was the first to deliver Wi-Fi 6 chipsets for mainstream 2+2 Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+) home routers and gateways for cable, xDSL, fiber, and consumer retail — and a 4x4 solution is on the way.
End-to-End Innovation
Intel® Wi-Fi 6 (Gig +) technology spans PCs and access points to deliver ultra-responsive Wi-Fi connectivity for optimal user experiences. Because Wi-Fi quality is only as strong as the weakest connection.
Ecosystem Support
Intel continues to play a leadership role in the development of Wi-Fi standards and certification through the Wi-Fi Alliance — helping customers bring new Wi-Fi 6 devices to market.

Informazioni su prodotti e prestazioni
Connettività Wi-Fi 6 all'avanguardia: i prodotti Intel® Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+) supportano canali facoltativi da 160 MHz, consentendo le massime velocità teoriche possibili (2402 Mbps) per i prodotti Wi-Fi PC tipici con standard 802.11ax 2x2. I prodotti Intel® Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+) premium consentono velocità teoriche massime 2-4 volte più veloci rispetto ai prodotti Wi-Fi per PC 802.11ax 2x2 (1201 Mbps) o 1x1 (600 Mbps) standard, che supportano solo il requisito obbligatorio dei canali a 80 MHz.
Capacità/scalabilità 4 volte superiore: Questa affermazione si basa su un confronto tra la capacità di rete complessiva per reti 802.11ax e 802.11ac di dimensioni simili. L'emendamento alla specifica IEEE 802.11-14/0165r1 802.11ax definisce modifiche standardizzate sia ai livelli fisici (PHY) IEEE 802.11 che al livello Medium Access Control (MAC) IEEE 802.11 che abilitano almeno una modalità operativa in grado di supportare un miglioramento di almeno quattro volte superiore della produttività media per stazione (misurato nel punto di accesso del servizio dati MAC) in uno scenario di implementazione densa, mantenendo o migliorando al contempo l'efficienza energetica per stazione. Per ulteriori dettagli, consultare https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/dcn/14/11-14-0165-01-0hew-802-11-hew-sg-proposed-par.docx.
Riduzione della latenza del 75%: si basa sui dati di simulazione Intel (79%) di 802.11ax con e senza OFDMA che utilizza 9 client. La latenza media senza OFDM è di 36 ms, con OFDMA, la latenza media si riduce fino a 7,6 ms. Il miglioramento della latenza richiede che il router 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) e tutti i client supportino OFDMA.
Velocità quasi 3 volte superiori: lo standard 802.11ax 2x2 a 160 MHz consente velocità teoriche massime dei dati pari a 2402 Mbps, quasi 3 volte (2,8 volte) superiori rispetto allo standard 802.11ac 2x2 a 80 MHz (867 Mbps), come documentato nelle specifiche dello standard wireless IEEE 802.11, e richiede l'uso di router di rete wireless 802.11ax con configurazione simile.
