According to @林林-一枝小白兔, Product Director at Lenovo, the company is facing an issue with supply as newer wireless network cards are out of stock. Just earlier this week, the known PC brand released a number of new products, including notebooks, tablets, and even peripheral accessories. Now, the company’s executive said that the shortage of networking related components may lead to some models being downgraded to Wi-Fi 5 standards.

Although, the Product Director also added that the products that use the smaller network cards are limited to only certain models and that the company will notify its customers in advance if it downgrades as a last resort. For those unaware, the world is currently facing a major shortage of semiconductors at the moment. This has impacted various industries including, smartphones, home appliances, automobiles, and even the PC market as well.

This coupled with the world’s largest contract chipmaker, TSMC, facing water and power cuts has caused issues with chip production. This further adds to the problem of semiconductor shortage that has even spread to the field of wireless network cards as well. Unfortunately, it is unknown whether the company would actually have to downgrade the Wi-Fi cards for its upcoming products so stay tuned for more updates.
