ASUS Intros AX3000 Dual Band PCIe WiFi 6 Card

Ever wanted Wifi6 on your system? Now you can with the Asus AX3000 Dual Band PCIe WiFi 6 add-on card.

For those wanting 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6 on their desktops without an M.2 E-key slot on their motherboards, ASUS came up with the PCE-AX3000, a low-profile capable (half-height) NIC that provides up to 3000 Mbps (2.4 Gbps over 5 GHz and 600 Mbps over 2.4 GHz) wireless connectivity, and the added convenience of Bluetooth 5.0 for short-range communications. A set of MU-MIMO antennae come included. Besides MU-MIMO, the card supports OFDMA for better collision-prevention with other devices in the same channel, and WPA3 security protocol.

The NIC is essentially a PCI-Express 3.0 x1 add-on card with an M.2 E-key slot that holds an Intel AX200 “Cyclone Peak” WLAN card. We expect the AX3000 to be priced well under $50 given that the “Cyclone Peak” card at the heart of it costs just $10-17 in volume pricing.
