Desktop Wi-Fi 6 upgrade

This PCIe adapter adds AX1800 dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.2 to a desktop PC. It fits any PCI Express x1, x4, x8 or x16 slot and includes a low-profile bracket for small-form-factor cases. The board uses a MediaTek MT7921 chipset and ships with two 6 dBi antennas.

Windows 10 or 11 64-bit desktops only

The driver package supports Windows 10 and 11 64-bit editions; other operating systems are not supported. Bluetooth requires an internal 9-pin USB header on the motherboard, so systems lacking that header cannot use the Bluetooth function. Motherboards with AMD chipsets are explicitly excluded by the manufacturer.

AX1800 dual-band with 160 MHz channel

Maximum link rate reaches 1200 Mbps on 5 GHz when the router provides a 160 MHz channel, or 574 Mbps on 2.4 GHz. MU-MIMO and antenna diversity are supported for more stable throughput in busy environments.
