What range of bandwidth does Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) theoretically support?

Wi-Fi 6E, which is based on the 802.11ax standard, is a significant advancement over its predecessors in terms of speed and capacity. The theoretical maximum bandwidth that Wi-Fi 6E can support is capped at 9.6 Gbps. This high throughput is achieved through a combination of several technologies such as Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), 1024-QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation), and broader channel widths of up to 160 MHz.

The range of 574 Mbps - 9.6 Gbps underscores not just the maximum limits but also the flexibility of Wi-Fi 6E to accommodate various devices and usage scenarios, allowing for lower speeds in environments with many devices while still being capable of delivering significantly higher speeds under optimal conditions. This is beneficial for everything from simple internet browsing to high-definition streaming and gaming applications.

Other options listed do not accurately reflect the capabilities of Wi-Fi 6E. For example, claiming a top speed of only 1.4 Gbps or even 1 Gbps misrepresents the advancements in Wi-Fi technology that Wi-Fi 6E introduces. The significant leap to a potential of 9.6 Gbps makes Wi-Fi 6
