As motherboard chips, IPQ5018 and IPQ4019 usually support a series of different models of WiFi cards, but the specific WiFi card models supported will be affected by the device manufacturer's customization and driver support. Both chips use Qualcomm's wireless networking technology, so they generally support the following WiFi standards and bands:
WiFi standards: 802.11a/b/g/n/ac (Wi-Fi 5) and 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6).
Frequency Bands: Supports 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency bands, as well as some possible higher frequency bands (such as 6GHz), depending on device manufacturer and product specifications.
MIMO technology: Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology is often supported to improve signal coverage and performance.
Beamforming: Supports beamforming technology to optimize signal transmission and coverage.
MU-MIMO: Supports multi-user multiple input multiple output technology to provide better multi-user performance.
Security: Supports the latest WiFi security protocols such as WPA3 to ensure the security of network connections.
The IPQ5018 and IPQ4019 are Qualcomm's network processor chips used in building wireless routers and network equipment. The following are their differences and characteristics:
IPQ5018:
Processing performance: IPQ5018 generally has higher processing performance and is suitable for larger, high-performance routers and network equipment.
Number of CPU cores: It is usually equipped with more CPU cores, which helps in handling more data and connections.
Frequency Bands: The IPQ5018 supports a wider range of frequency bands, typically including 2.4GHz and 5GHz, and may also support higher frequency bands such as 6GHz. This means it provides better wireless coverage and performance.
IPQ4019:
Processing performance: IPQ4019 is typically used in mid-range routers and network equipment, and its processing performance is low.
Number of CPU cores: It is usually equipped with fewer CPU cores and therefore handles less data and connections.
Frequency Bands: IPQ4019 typically supports the 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency bands, but is unlikely to support the 6GHz band. It may have smaller coverage than IPQ5018.
