High-Speed Wireless Internet Access (RTL8197F/RTL8198D/RTL8198F/RTL8852A)

Realtek’s wireless network system single chips include the RTL8197F/RTL8198D/RTL8198F

and offer a small size and highly integrated design. They provide a built-in high power
amplifier, low power consumption, high throughput, and support for Wi-Fi EasyMesh.
RTL8852AE
  • FCC ID: TX2-RTL8852AE (10/16/2020) - RTL8852AE 802.11ax Wireless Combo Module
RTL8852AES (802.11ax 2T2R)

The RTL8852A is Realtek’s first 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) wireless product. It backward supports

802.11ac, and provides an enhanced stability, high-efficiency, and high-throughput wireless
network service that supports large numbers of users in high-user-density locations.

It also features a new flow control mechanism to reduce power consumption and extend battery life.

Realtek’s High-Speed Wireless Internet Access solutions are perfect for wireless routers,
mesh wireless network base stations, wireless network card solution set-top boxes,
Smart TVs, Smart Speakers, IP-CAMs, etc.

Realtek WiFi 7 and WiFi 6 roadmap for routers and clients (CNX-Software)

We’ve just written about Realtek 5 Gbps Ethernet chips, but the company also has some roadmaps

for WiFi 6 and WiFi 7 router chips, and a WiFi 7 client module demonstrated at COMPUTEX 2023.

The company’s roadmap include five WiFi 7 router solutions:

  • BE3600 Wi-Fi 7 router • Realtek RTL8198DS @1.2GHz (Dual-core ARM) CPU
RTL8902A (2×2 2.4GHz), RTL8952AR (2×2 5GHz), RTL8221B (2.5GbE PHY)
  • BE6400 Wi-Fi 7 router • Realtek RTL8198DS @1.2GHz (Dual-core ARM) CPU
RTL8192XBR (2×2 2.4GHz AX), RTL8934A (4×4 5GHz), RTL8221B (2.5GbE PHY)
  • BE6500 Wi-Fi 7 router • Realtek RTL8198DS @1.2GHz (Dual-core ARM) CPU
RTL8902A (2×2 2.4GHz), 2x RTL8952AR (2×2 5/6GHz), RTL8221B (2.5GbE PHY)
  • BE7200 Wi-Fi 7 router • Realtek RTL8198DS @1.2GHz (Dual-core ARM) CPU
RTL8294XAR (4×4 2.4GHz BE), RTL8934A (4×4 5GHz), RTL8221B (2.5GbE PHY)
  • BE9400 Wi-Fi 7 router • Realtek RTL8198DS @1.2GHz (Dual-core ARM) CPU
RTL8902A (2×2 2.4GHz), RTL8952AR (2×2 5GHz), RTL8934AR (4×4 6GHz), RTL8221B (2.5GbE PHY)

The routers would come with 256MB or 512MB RAM and an AI engine with all supporting the same unified SDK.

But not everybody will need WiFi 7, and mainstream routers now support WiFi 6, so Realtek provides solutions for WiFi 6 routers

supporting from AX1500 to AX5400 speeds, some with Gigabit Ethernet, and the others with 2.5GbE networking.

Most are based on the Realtek RTL8198D Dual or Triple-core ARM processor with 128MB or 256MB RAM,

but the top AX5400GE model features the Realtek RTL8198XB Quad-core ARM processor.
  • AX1500GE (H) Wi-Fi 6 router • Realtek RTL8197H (Dual-core ARM) CPU (WiSoC)
RTL8197H (2×2 2.4GHz), RTL8832BR (2×2 5GHz), RTL8367RB (GbE), 128MB RAM
  • AX1500GE (D) Wi-Fi 6 router • Realtek RTL8198D (Dual-core ARM) CPU
RTL8192FRH (2×2 2.4GHz), RTL8832BR (2×2 5GHz), 128MB RAM
  • AX1800GE Wi-Fi 6 router • Realtek RTL8198D (Dual-core ARM) CPU
RTL8192XBR (2×2 2.4GHz), RTL8832BR (2×2 5GHz), 256MB RAM
  • AX3000GE (1G) Wi-Fi 6 router • Realtek RTL8198D (Triple-core ARM) CPU
RTL8192XBR (2×2 2.4GHz), RTL8832CR (2×2 5GHz), 256MB RAM
  • AX3000GE (2.5G) Wi-Fi 6 router • Realtek RTL8198D (Triple-core ARM) CPU
RTL8192XBR (2×2 2.4GHz), RTL8832CR (2×2 5GHz), RTL8221B (2.5GbE PHY)
  • AX5400GE Wi-Fi 6 router • Realtek RTL8198XB (Quad-core ARM) CPU
RTL8192XBR (2×2 2.4GHz), 2x RTL8832CR (2×2 5/6GHz), RTL8221B (2.5GbE PHY)
