swarfendor437 Â Â 14 #1 Posted June 15, 2020 Was browsing on ebuyer after the post about mesh systems and noticed that some routers now on sale are offering the 'ax' (as opposed to 'ac') wifi standard - will this mean that some notebooks with built-in wifi would no longer work with such a router or will it be like it is now with all the different bands currently available?

RollingJ Â Â 2,042 #2 Posted June 15, 2020 Surely they are not merely 'ax', but like others also offer earlier standards? Or am I missing something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
