    I am already looking forward to next ( or next next ) generation of WiFi , 802.11be.

    Wasn't that just proposed in February? As in the very first draft?

    Link to the paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1902.04320 - some interesting new technologies are being considered.

    Will they put out any non-CVNi cards? Will the 9260 be the last wifi card that "old" systems will be able to use?

    Yes. The non-CNVi is called the AX201, but hasn't been officially released. Likely close, as it's hit the FCC already:

    Intel ark says this (200) is non-CNVI. The CNVI parts will probably arrive when cpus/chipsets with wifi 6 support get released. Could be comet lake or ice lake....

    Not just old systems. Non-Intel systems too.

    Now lets see how many people can actually upgrade to it with all the BIOS whitelisting still going on among the OEM's... :(

    Who is still doing that? Lenovo was for a long time but they dropped it a couple years ago. I know Dell does not. Anyone else?

    I will happily buy one of these for both of my laptops. It's a cheap enough upgrade that it doesn't matter if your AP is rated for 802.11ax yet.

    Now lets wait for Ubiquiti to release the successor of UniFi-AC-Pro and nanoHD with WiFi-6 support. Hopefully with a proper multi gigabit ports too; 5Gbps should be good.

    Oh wait, they're taking their time with it. it might be a long wait.

    Compex will probably release something first. I run an ap ac pro, but compex makes some fun diy ap hardware.

    Can't wait to get one of these, hoping it makes my 750 Mbps internet connection seem even faster...somehow! :/
