Where are all the 802.11AX network adapters?

Fri Apr 10, 2020 8:13 am

If there any reason why there are no 802.11AX network adapters (except for Intel AX200)?

There are tons of routers available with 802.11AX already but nearly no client devices. From what I remember at the time of release 802.11AC, there were a bunch of adapters released along with the routers.

I specifically don't like the Intel devices because you can't use them as Access Point mode in 5G bands.

Without MU-MIMO and especially OFDMA (which MikroTik) doesn't support, an 802.11ax adapter doesn't have much value.
