WiFi 6 USB adapter for Macs?

I've been looking around for a WiFi 6 (802.11ax) USB adapter that would work with my MacBook Pro (2019 16" Intel), but so far I haven't had any luck. There's so much poorly documented junk on Amazon that I finally had to give up there. I also tried a few well-known manufacturers and found nothing.


Is anyone aware of such a thing existing?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 13.0
