Wi-Fi 6 (802.11x) Wireless Protocol    Up to 3000 Mb/s Data Throughput    Bluetooth 5.0 Wireless Support    External Dual Antennas with Stand    OFDMA & 2x2 MU-MIMO Support    Dual 2.4 GHz & 5 GHz Bands    WPA3 Wi-Fi Security    PCI-E x1 Compatible    For Windows 10 64-bit Systems

With a compatible router, your desktop can utilize OFDMA technology to transmit data simultaneously with other devices to maximize network speed and stability.

Standing for "Multi-User Multi-Input Multi-Output", MU-MIMO routers provide multiple dedicated upload/download connections for your devices. These dedicated connections help with slowdowns due to network congestion. 2x2 means that each band gets two dedicated connections. With your desktop equipped with a PCE-AX58BT adapter and an (optional) MU-MIMO router, your desktop can take advantage of this technology.

Supporting both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands gives you options with your wireless network. Connect at 2.4 GHz to maximize your wireless range or at 5 GHz to maximize your network speeds.

This network adapter doubles as a Bluetooth adapter as well. Supporting Bluetooth 5.0 technology, you will be able to pair Bluetooth devices to your desktop. Pair an external speaker to listen to your favorite music or perhaps a wireless controller for convenient PC gaming.

A stand with dual Wi-Fi antennas is included so you can optimize your wireless connection. Place it on top or next to your desktop wherever you get the best reception.

Protect your privacy and data with the advanced WPA3 Wi-Fi encryption standard. Please note that your router must also support WPA3.
