Intel has officially shipped the AX210 Wi-Fi 6E wireless network adapter, codenamed Typhoon Peak, which provides higher-speed, low-latency wireless transmission capabilities for gaming laptops. Uses M.2 2230 or M.2 1216 interfaces and supports 2.4GHz, The newly added 5GHz and 6Gbps frequency bands support 160MHz bandwidth, and the 2T2R configuration has a maximum connection speed of 3 Gbps.

I think many people will think that the popular WiFi 6 has just launched, why is there another WiFi 6E? What is the difference between WiFi 6E and WiFi 6?

Simply put, WiFi adds to the current common 2.4GHz and 5GHz WiFi, WiFi 6 is extended to the 6GHz frequency band, so that you get lower latency and higher network speed, and spectrum total available for WiFi has increased more than three times. At the same time, when multiple devices are connected to the router, the network experience users get is better than using other frequency bands. Of course, the main premise is that you have a WiFi 6 router.

Although Wi-Fi 6 has poor wall penetration capabilities, it has higher transmission speeds over short distances. It is expected that in the first quarter of 2021, many gaming laptop models will switch to AX210 Wi-Fi 6E wireless network cards.
