You've got a Wi-Fi 6E router sitting on the shelf, but your desktop is still stuck on the old 5 GHz band fighting every other device for airtime. The Mercusys MA86XE opens up that clearer 6 GHz band straight from your PCIe slot. Tri-band speeds hit 2402 Mbps on each of 6 GHz and 5 GHz, plus 574 Mbps on 2.4 GHz. Intel Wi-Fi 6E chipset keeps the connection locked in even when the office gets busy. Two high-performance antennas extend the reach. Bluetooth 5.2 pairs your headset without a second plug. WPA3 secures your password. Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit) — the 6 GHz band is available on Windows 11. Backward compatible with 802.11ax/ac/a/b/g/n. 2-year warranty. Add to cart and get your desktop onto the band nobody else is using
