Wi-Fi 6E routers

[SiaoAngMoh]

...I am not so sure that single 320MHz channel is that useful or not.

For 1Gbps fibre it's not. Those with 10Gbps fibre and eventually Wi-FI 7, it will. I hope they open up the other 500MHz+ of spectrum to allow 7 channels of 160MHz or 3 of 320MHz.

Finally!!!

Proposing only the lower 500MHz of bandwidth in the 6GHz range. For a start.

Will allow 1 non overlapping 320MHz channel (Wi-Fi 7), or 3 channels of 160MHz.

I would not take ChartGPT as official answer. But nothing can stop you from using it. Samsung S22, and those Intel gen 12 notebook all have 6E WiFi ready.

Incorrect.

Nothing is approved. There is a proposal which they seek feedback on from industry/public. Should happen this year but it isn't approved as of now.

Not this again.

There is no way a Samsung 22 sold by Samsung in Singapore has WiFi 6E enabled in Singapore. Hardware has it yes. But it is not enabled for this market.

For laptops from the likes of Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo etc, same thing, it can't be enabled. Now it's possible to swap out the WiFi card to a 6E supported on and use it, but those manufacturer's cannot ship laptops with this enabled.

It's also possible to purchase equipment from overseas with Wi-Fi 6E enabled and bring it here. But devices which have IMDA approval for the Singapore market to be sold here, cannot.

chatGPT won’t know anything happened after 2021 so this answer is obviously incorrect, in fact if you question it after the wrong answer such as “but Singapore is not listed in the counties that enabled Wi-fi 6e”, it immediately said its previous answer was wrong.

posting the screenshot is just for fun…

Please have it test before comment. It is enable.

Technically there is no way to control it. You can take your phone from other country (and laptop too). Authority has no way to limit these protable devices anyway.
Yes, the say frequency band is not yet available in Singapore for public use. That does not means your device cannot have those frequency band available.
Laptop is easy to verify. Just take any Intel gen 12 laptop, go to driver section. You can see 6G band is infact enable.

Did that. Is supported. Please try it yourself. On the right. Selection is Auto/Enable/Disable. You can even use it to repeat your LAN into wireless.

Many thanks for update.

wifi card can support 6E i believe, no firmware locking

However, router supporting 6E need firmware locking as of now. Tiagong nia

like that i taobao and ship over can liao ma. hahaha

Not so sure about AX9000 but AX6000 is a dual band AX router and it can not be a proper AX 6E router.

A proper AX6E router will have to be triband, 2.4GHz, 5GHz and 6GHz.

Any news on the wifi 6E router in Singapore.

You can get the router but you must change all your wifi clients. Do note that smart TV (wifi 5 only), washing machine and air con wifi are still in 2.4Ghz wifi so what to do next.

Any news on the wifi 6E router in Singapore.

Just browsed through the Singapore site of Asus, Netgear, Linksys and TP-Link, only TP-Link lists one high-end Wifi 6E router Archer AXE300 Quad Band (two x 10G port) as "Coming Soon". The other three do not have any Wifi 6E router listed.
