Performance - Wireless Internet WIFI (802.11ax)

Performance Wireless 802.11ax (WIFI6)

For our tests we emulate what you would get performance-wise inside a house with a multi-level concrete ground and 1st floor as well as a 5-meter test separated by walls. We test Single-band 2.4 GHz and single band 5 GHz. The router (host) is positioned at ground level and we test with a client (laptop) in several stages.

Performance Wireless 802.11ax WIFI

Most enthusiast-class motherboards these days have integrated Wi-Fi, and there are so many standards. One of the more interesting ones is Wireless AC AKA 802.11ac (WIFI5) and as of recent 802.11ax (WIFI6). Motherboards that have such a unit will now be tested here at Guru3D.com. Wireless AX draft 802.11ax technology was developed to optimize video streaming experiences. Providing Gigabit Wi-Fi speeds allows content to download faster and large video or music files to sync more quickly. With an increasing number of Wi-Fi devices in the home leading to greater internet consumption.

Above: 2400 MHz single link

Above: AC/AX 5000 MHz single link

Our throughput measurement shows really good performance, especially the 5G band is closing in on 500~700 Mbps with a single link

We can precisely map and measure throughput by measuring multiple times per second during a test run of 30 seconds, this is true sustained throughput.
