Mercusys MA86XE AXE5400 Tri-Band Wi-Fi 6E Bluetooth 5.2 PCIe Adapter

Upgrade Your Wi-Fi to 6E.

Wi-Fi 6E means Wi-Fi 6 extended to the 6 GHz band, a newly-opened frequency band that adds more bandwidth, faster speeds, and lower latency. This opens up resources for future innovations in AR/VR, 8K streaming, and more.‡

Unstoppable Speeds up to 5.4 Gbps

MA86XE arms your PC with Wi-Fi 6E technology and the brand-new 6 GHz band, unlocking your Wi-Fi 6E router's full potential. Experience the unblocked network on the exclusive band to Wi-Fi 6E devices, preventing speed drops and interference from legacy devices.†‡

Super Fast Wi-Fi Reception

By combining OFDMA and MU-MIMO, MA86XE brings your PC's Wi-Fi reception to the next level. This ensures the efficiency of your PC's Wi-Fi connection by allowing more devices to communicate with your router simultaneously rather than waiting in turn for data.‡

Lower Latency, Higher Experiences

Equipped with Wi-Fi 6E, MA86XE brings an ultra-low latency reduced by 75% to achieve incredibly smooth real-time gaming or immersive VR experiences. §*

- Wi-Fi 6E

- 2×2 MU-MIMO

- OFDMA

Strong Wi-Fi 6E Chipset from Intel

Combined with the intel® Wi-Fi 6E chipset, MA86XE maximises the speeds, latency and reliability benefits of Wi-Fi 6 across new radio frequencies free from legacy device interference. You can dramatically improve your connected experience at home, work, or on the go.§

Bluetooth 5.2 Connect Everything

MA86XE makes your PC Bluetooth-capable with ultra-fast Bluetooth 5.2, which achieves a more stable connection, farther range and faster transmission speeds than Bluetooth 4. Just connect your Bluetooth devices to your computer and enjoy with ease.***

The Latest WPA3 Protects Your Personal Network

The latest security standard, WPA3, offers improved comprehensive Wi-Fi protection to defend your devices and private information against brute-force attacks*4.

- Protect Against Brute-Force Attacks: Delivers robust protection even when you are using a weak password

- Advanced Forward Secrecy: Prevents data from being snooped even if a cracker compromises a session's secret keys

- Unbreakable 128-Bit Encryption: Creates an active defence against security threats and intruders

Compatible with Windows Operating System

MA86XE fully supports the latest Windows 11. Upgrade your PC to the newest Wi-Fi 6E by MA86XE.

*Supports: Windows 11, 64-bit, Windows 10, 64-bit.

Footnotes:

†Maximum wireless signal rates are the physical rates derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Actual wireless data throughput, wireless coverage, and several connected devices are not guaranteed. They will vary due to network conditions, AP limitations, and environmental factors, including building materials, obstacles, volume and density of traffic, and AP location.

‡Use of Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), Wi-Fi 6E, and features including OFDMA, MU-MIMO, 1024-QAM, or HE160 require APs to also support the corresponding features. Due to regulatory restrictions, 160 MHz channels may not be available in the 5GHz or 6 GHz band in some regions/countries.

The functionality of MA86XE may be restricted on some computing systems and platforms. Please try to update the device's driver for feature compatibility.

§Based on IEEE 802.11ax specification Intel Engineering simulation. 160 MHz channels and Wi-Fi 6/6E technology advantages related to network-managed traffic enable lower latencies, more efficient operation, and higher reliability vs. random contention-based traffic of standard Wi-Fi 5 networks. Intel and the Intel logo are trademarks of Intel Corporation or its subsidiaries in the U.S. and other countries.

* "Up to 75% lower latency" is based on Intel simulation data of 802.11ax with and without OFDMA using nine clients. The average latency without OFDMA is 36 ms; with OFDMA average latency is reduced to 7.6 ms. Latency improvement requires that the AP and all clients support OFDMA.

**Use of WPA3 requires APs also to support the corresponding feature.

***Several new features are introduced in the Bluetooth Core Specification 5.0 and 5.2 Release, including 2× faster speed and 4× broader coverage compared with Bluetooth 4.2.

*Maximum wireless signal rates are the physical rates derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Actual wireless data throughput and wireless coverage are not guaranteed and will vary as a result of 1) environmental factors, including building materials, physical objects, and obstacles; 2) network conditions, including local interference, volume and density of traffic, product location, network complexity, and network overhead, and 3) AP limitations, including rated performance, location, connection quality, and AP condition. *To ensure compatibility, you may need to update the adapter's drivers after an OS update. You can find our latest drivers in the download centre at http://www.mercusys.com/en/support.

Actual network speed may be limited by the rate of the product's Ethernet WAN or LAN port, the rate supported by the network cable, Internet service provider factors and other environmental conditions.
