What is WiFi 6?

Wi-Fi 6 is a technology that allows you to enjoy a large stream of Internet speeds, as well as get improved performance on busy networks. The Wi-Fi 6 standard was approved in 2019. Wi-Fi 802.11ac is considered its predecessor.

 

What are the benefits of Wi-Fi 6?

 

Basically, the latest standard makes it possible to extend the range up to 6 GHz. Recall that the 802.11ac Wi-Fi standard can use the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.

 

What does it mean?

 

The Wi-Fi 6 standard gives greater productivity and network bandwidth. This technology will allow you to connect more gadgets, as well as access devices and applications with high requirements. It can be 8K video and powerful augmented reality games. The usual 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz will not be able to cope with the increasing traffic.

 

Now you need to figure out which devices support Wi-Fi 6?

 

Although the technology was approved in 2019, only by the end of 2021 did it begin to appear in Ukraine. WiFi 6 devices are already available for home and office use.

 

Available router models:

- Honor Router 3;

- Huawei AX3;

- Redmi AX5;

- Xiaomi Mi Router AX1800;

- TP-LINK Archer AX10; 

- Asus RT-AX53U and others.

 

Should I buy a Wi-Fi 6 router at home?

 

If you have Wi-Fi 6 compatible devices, buying such a router makes sense. The new standard will perfectly cope with tasks that need a lot of bandwidth (downloading or online viewing of high-definition video, streaming and reducing latency in online games).

 

Wi-Fi 6 is a technology of the future that will be built into most devices in a few years. When buying modern TVs, laptops, smartphones, and more, you will already need a new router.
