Frequently Asked Questions :
Does this adapter support the 6GHz band on Windows 10?
No. While the adapter functions on Windows 10 for 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, Microsoft requires Windows 11 to access the 6GHz WiFi 6E spectrum.
Is the A9000 compatible with older WiFi 5 (802.11ac) routers?
Yes, the A9000 is backward compatible with 802.11a/b/g/n/ac standards, though a WiFi 6E router is required to utilize the 6GHz band features.
Does it require a specific USB port for maximum speed?
For optimal AXE3000 performance and to avoid throughput bottlenecks, the adapter should be plugged into a USB 3.0 (USB 3.1 Gen 1) port or higher.
