GC-WFAX210 is an exclusive PCIe expansion card that offers support for the latest High quality 802.11ax 80MHz Tri-Band WIFI and BLUETOOTH 5.2 connectivity.
Spectrum congestion is huge problem in current WIFI environment nowadays because too many devices all use existing 2.4GHz and 5GHz spectrum, and it cause unreliable connection and slower speed. WIFI 6E is extended standard to WIFI 6, and it use dedicated 6GHz band that it provides not only brand new frequency to transfer data, but also spacious spectrum for future more devices. With WIFI 6E, users can enjoy faster connection and stronger signal than before.
PCIe 4.0 Interface
GC-WFAX210 features PCIe 4.0 interface which are expected to experience twice bandwidth than PCIe 3.0 devices.
WIFI EZ-Plug
The WIFI EZ-Plug design integrates Wi-Fi antenna plugs into one adapter, EZ to install.
