Maximum wireless signal rates are the physical rates derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Actual wireless data throughput, wireless coverage, and number of connected devices are not guaranteed and will vary as a result of network conditions, client limitations, and environmental factors, including building materials, obstacles, volume and density of traffic, and client location.

Use of 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6), and features including OFDMA, MU-MIMO, 1024-QAM, BSS Color, and Target Wake Time requires clients to also support the corresponding features. Actual power reduction by Target Wake Time may vary as a result of network conditions, client limitations, and environmental factors.

The 802.11ax white paper defines standardized modifications to both the IEEE 802.11 physical layers (PHY) and the IEEE 802.11 Medium Access Control (MAC) layer as enabling at least one mode of operation capable of supporting improvement of at least four times the average throughput per station (measured at the MAC data service access point) in a dense deployment scenario.

Use of WPA3 requires clients to also support WPA3.

This router may not support all the mandatory features as ratified in Draft 3.0 of IEEE 802.11AX specifications.

Further software upgrades for feature availability may be required.
