What is Wi-Fi 6?

Hi everyone,

Wi-Fi 6, technically known as IEEE 802.11ax, is a new standard for wireless networks. It takes over from Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) and offers increases in both speed and capacity. Here are some key features of Wi-Fi 6:

    Higher Speeds: Wi-Fi 6 can theoretically reach speeds in the gigabits. However, in real-world conditions, the speed is usually lower, but still represents a significant improvement over Wi-Fi 5.

    Support for More Devices: Wi-Fi 6 is designed to support more devices at once. This is especially useful in busy network environments where many devices are connected.

    Better Battery Life: Wi-Fi 6 allows devices to communicate more efficiently, which generally leads to better battery life.

    Advanced Technologies: Wi-Fi 6 uses a range of advanced technologies to provide better performance and capacity. These include features like OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access), MU-MIMO (Multi-User, Multiple Input, Multiple Output), 1024-QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation), and Target Wake Time.

    Improved Security: Wi-Fi 6 supports the WPA3 security protocol, which offers stronger encryption and better user privacy.

To take advantage of these benefits of Wi-Fi 6, both your router and connected devices need to support Wi-Fi 6. However, a Wi-Fi 6 compatible router will provide backward compatibility to previous Wi-Fi standards to allow older devices to still connect.
