AXE5400 Tri-Band Wi-Fi 6E Performance

The MERCUSYS MA86XE takes advantage of Wi-Fi 6E technology to provide access to the additional 6GHz wireless band. This expanded spectrum can help reduce congestion from older wireless devices and provide more available bandwidth for compatible computers and routers.

Its tri-band configuration supports up to 2402 Mbps on both the 6GHz and 5GHz bands, along with up to 574 Mbps on the 2.4GHz band. This makes it suitable for bandwidth-intensive activities, including online gaming, 4K and high-resolution streaming, video conferencing and large file transfers. Actual speeds depend on the router, network configuration, environmental conditions and connected devices.

Dedicated 6GHz Band for Reduced Interference

Wi-Fi 6E extends Wi-Fi 6 capabilities into the 6GHz frequency band, providing additional wireless spectrum for compatible devices. The 6GHz band can offer a less congested connection environment compared with traditional 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks, helping improve performance in busy wireless environments.

To use the 6GHz band, you need a compatible Wi-Fi 6E router or access point. The 6GHz functionality of the MA86XE is supported on Windows 11; Windows 10 support is available for the adapter's other supported wireless bands.

Bluetooth 5.3 for Wireless Accessories

In addition to Wi-Fi connectivity, the MA86XE integrates Bluetooth 5.3, enabling compatible desktop computers to connect with a range of Bluetooth-enabled accessories. Connect wireless headphones, keyboards, mice, game controllers and other supported peripherals without requiring a separate Bluetooth adapter.

For Bluetooth functionality, connect the included Bluetooth Header Cable to an available USB 2.0 header on the computer's motherboard. The PCIe card installation alone does not complete the Bluetooth connection.

OFDMA and MU-MIMO for Improved Network Efficiency

The combination of OFDMA and MU-MIMO technologies helps improve communication efficiency on compatible wireless networks. OFDMA enables more efficient sharing of wireless channel resources, while MU-MIMO allows a compatible router to communicate with multiple devices simultaneously.

These technologies can help reduce unnecessary waiting and improve overall network efficiency in environments where multiple devices are connected. Their benefits depend on support from the wireless router or access point.

1024-QAM for Higher Data Rates

The MA86XE supports 1024-QAM modulation, which allows more data to be transmitted within each wireless signal when used with compatible Wi-Fi equipment. This technology contributes to higher wireless data rates and helps maximise the capabilities of supported Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E networks.

WPA3 Wireless Security

Protect your wireless connection with WPA3-SAE security support. WPA3 introduces enhanced authentication and security improvements compared with older wireless security standards, helping protect personal information and connected devices. A compatible router or access point is required to use WPA3 security.

Two High-Performance Antennas

Equipped with two fixed high-performance omnidirectional antennas, the MA86XE is designed to support reliable wireless reception and improved signal coverage. Its antenna configuration helps the adapter communicate with compatible wireless routers across supported frequency bands.
