*Maximum wireless signal rates are referenced from IEEE 802.11 theoretical specifications. Actual data throughput and coverage will vary depending on interference, network traffic, building materials, and other conditions. For maximum performance of up to 1.2Gbps, use with a 1.2Gbps 802.11ax wireless adapter. For maximum performance of up to 867Mbps, use with an 867Mbps 802.11ac wireless adapter. For maximum performance of up to 300Mbps, use with an 300Mbps 802.11n wireless adapter. Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO) requires the use of multiple MU-MIMO enabled wireless adapters.
**Hive cloud management requires firmware 1.0.0.10 or above.
