| The Qualcomm QCN6024 (4×4 Wi-Fi 6 dual-band) and QCN9074 (4×4 Wi-Fi 6E tri-band) share a peak PHY rate of 4.8 Gbps but diverge sharply in power consumption and spectrum access. QCN6024 draws roughly 6.6–8 W under full load, making it ideal for cost- and heat-sensitive IoT or embedded applications. QCN9074, by contrast, consumes up to 15.6–16 W at peak, yet offers 6 GHz operation, cleaner channels, and superior multi-user performance in dense networks. We present their key specs, measured power profiles, recommended use-cases, practical optimization tips — and at the end, Wallys product pages and purchasing options for both QCN9074 and QCN9024 modules.1. Specifications Overview 2. Performance Comparison2.1 Throughput & Spectrum
 QCN6024: Up to 4.8 Gbps on 2.4/5 GHz with 160 MHz channels and 4×4 MU-MIMO . QCN9074: Same peak rate on 5 GHz, plus 6 GHz operation for additional clean spectrum and reduced interference .2.2 Multi-User & Latency 3. Power Consumption ComparisonBoth support 4-stream MU-MIMO and OFDMA; QCN9074’s 6 GHz band yields lower queuing delays in dense deployments .
 
 Under sustained full-bandwidth traffic, QCN9074 draws nearly double the power of QCN6024 due to its tri-band RF chains and 6 GHz frontend .4. Trade-Offs & Recommended Use-Cases 5. Optimization Tips5.1 Power & Driver Tuning
 5.2 Thermal & Antenna DesignQCN9074: Disable unused bands/spatial streams when idle to cut peak draw ~20% .QCN6024: Extend Target Wake Time intervals; disable extra calibration sweeps to reduce idle overhead .
 5.3 Power DeliveryQCN9074 needs heatsinking or active airflow under full load .Both modules benefit from high-gain directional antennas outdoors.
 6. Wallys Product Links & PurchasingUse high-efficiency DC-DC converters; avoid linear regulators to minimize losses.
 By selecting and optimizing the right Qualcomm module, you can achieve the ideal balance of throughput, power efficiency, and cost for your specific industrial or consumer application.
