Check for Intel® Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+) Technology
In just 3 simple steps, you can verify if a PC has the latest Intel® Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+) technology before you buy to ensure you get faster Gigabit wireless speeds, support for 160 MHz channel bandwidth and WPA3, higher capacity, lower latency1, and next-gen security2. Without Wi-Fi 6 capabilities, your next device will suffer from outdated wireless connectivity leading to years ...of frustration before you upgrade again. Wi-Fi 6 is designed for the rapid growth of connected devices, streaming services, and high-bandwidth demands of today’s home wireless networks and is the biggest advancement to Wi-Fi technology since Wi-Fi 4 in 2009. While older Wi-Fi technologies were contention-based, letting devices connect on a first-come-first-served basis, Wi-Fi 6 traffic is efficiently managed by the router for faster speeds, greater reliability, and more responsive interactions for wireless gaming, entertainment, and video streaming.
