Hey, I got an intel AC8265 card in my pc. I have two questions. I have an AC router, is it worth it to upgrade to Wi-Fi 6 only on my pc? Would there be any speed difference (I download very often heavy files)? Would the AX201 interface compatible with my AC card? Thanks in advance

P.S. I download on other devices at about 75-95 mb/s and on my AC8265 at about 30, and no, running an Ethernet cable is not an option.

PC: i5-9400f - 1660 Ti

The speed "difference" would be within margin of error. You would see zero benefit since the router cannot deal with WiFi 6 clients you'll drop back to WiFi 5 on your PC.
