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.

Información sobre productos y desempeño
Best in Class Wi-Fi 6: Intel® Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+) products support optional 160 MHz channels, enabling the fastest possible theoretical maximum speeds (2402 Mbps) for typical 2x2 802.11ax PC Wi-Fi products. Premium Intel® Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+) products enable 2-4x faster maximum theoretical speeds compared standard 2x2 (1201 Mbps) or 1x1 (600 Mbps) 802.11ax PC Wi-Fi products, which only support the mandatory requirement of 80 MHz channels.
Cuatro veces más capacidad/escalabilidad: esta afirmación se basa en una comparación de la capacidad general de la red realizada entre redes 802.11ax y 802.11ac de tamaño similar. En la enmienda de la especificación IEEE 802.11-14/0165r1 802.11ax, se definen modificaciones estandarizadas a las capas físicas (PHY) de IEEE 802.11 y a la capa de control de acceso al medio (MAC) de IEEE 802.11, lo que permite al menos un modo de funcionamiento capaz de admitir como mínimo una mejora cuatro veces superior en la capacidad de procesamiento promedio por estación (medida en el punto de acceso del servicio de datos de MAC), en una situación de implementación densa, mientras se mantiene o mejora la eficacia energética por estación.

Reducción de latencia del 75 %: se basa en datos de simulación de Intel (79 %) de 802.11ax con y sin OFDMA utilizando 9 clientes. La latencia promedio sin OFDM es de 36 ms, con OFDMA la latencia promedio se reduce a 7,6 ms. La mejora en latencia requiere que el router 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) y todos los clientes admitan OFDMA.
Casi 3 veces más rápido: el estándar 802.11ax 2x2 de 160 MHz permite frecuencias de datos teóricas máximas de 2402 Mbps, 3 veces (2.8 veces exactamente) más rápidas que el estándar 802.11ac 2x2 de 80 MHz (867 Mbps) según lo documentado en las especificaciones estándar inalámbricas IEEE 802.11, y requiere el uso de enrutadores de red inalámbrica 802.11ax configurados de forma similar.
