Manufacturer specification · Wi-Fi 7 certified products will roll out in accordance with the Wi-Fi Alliance certification schedule throughout 2024. WiFi 7 requires the latest Wi-Fi Alliance certification, Windows HLK certified device driver, hardware update, supported Windows OS version and compatible router. Wi-Fi 7/ 6E connectivity (6 GHz) with Windows 11 is limited and will leverage prior generation of Wi-Fi 6E/ Wi-Fi 6 speeds until drivers are available and hardware adoption increases. Ubuntu OS will not support Wi-Fi 7 and will operate on WiFi 6E/6 speeds when configured for WiFi 7. Router requires a separate purchase. Wi-Fi 7/ 6E (6 GHz) connectivity is only available in select locations. Check availability with your service provider. The Bluetooth wireless card version may vary depending on the operating system that is installed on your computer.
