I only just bought a wifi 6 router and now there’s wifi 6E 🤬
Angel Raj

It doesn’t really matter because no devices that can use wifi right now can even use wifi 6e. Unless you plan to replace all of your devices that use wifi it doesn’t matter for right now.

@Angel Raj I disagree. Unless you replace your routers every year, it is good to buy a router with some future-proofing in mind. Waiting to get a 6E router might save a buyer from purchasing a new router for the next 6 years. At least that’s the way I see it. Getting the best value of the hardware purchase is the way I would go about it.

Speed Racer I’m pretty sure it would have to be a new model. I don’t think the radios in current AX devices support 6GHz band.

is internet connection need to be faster even though we have WiFi 6 router
CNET
June 25, 2020 at 5:37 pm
This is from Ry: Good question. It’s really important to remember that your internet plan is like a speed limit. If you’re only paying for 50 Mbps, then that’s as fast as your router will pull data from the cloud, regardless of how fancy it is. Wi-Fi 6 routers will work with any incoming internet connection, but in order to take full advantage of the faster speeds, you’ll want a plan of at least 300 Mbps, and you’ll get the most out of Wi-Fi 6 if you’re paying for gigabit speeds. The fastest Wi-Fi 6 speeds we’ve been able to hit in our test lab sit at about 1.5 Gbps.

Wireless standards board, “We need to make things easier for people to understand, so Wifi AX is now “Wifi 6″, and because this wasn’t confusing enough we’re going to start adding letters to numbers again.”

what ever wifi the next gen consoles come with is the wifi router to buy. probably 802.11ax nothing more than wifi 6 thats plenty enough im sure for a majority of home users unless for business or enterprise you wont see a worthwhile beneft.

Considering most people don’t know what their router is and how old it is and upgrade it once every 10 years, I’d highly recommend you tell everyone to wait until 6E routers come just so in 2030 they have the option to connect to 6ghz if they want to

I’m personally a fan of Netgear nighthawk wifi 6 routers. I got a RAX40 and it works good. I heard Asus is good also but I never tried their routers.

From Ry Crist (from the video): Our current favorite is the Asus ZenWiFi AX, a 2-piece mesh system that retails for $450. For something that costs a little less, we like the TP-Link Archer AX6000, which is still the fastest Wi-Fi 6 router we’ve tested. That one currently costs $300 on Amazon. We’ve also tested a few entry-level Wi-Fi 6 routers that cost closer to $200, but we haven’t found one that impressed us enough to earn our recommendation yet.

I’ve held off Wifi 6 since Ubiquiti only had WIFI 5 AP units, then 6E is announced and I am still holding off so I can design a system around the Dream Machine Pro and 6E AP units, hopefully early next year. Any news on Unifi’s progress with 6E APs?

Had to watch it twice because 98% of the video is explaining what WiFi 6 is and only briefly mentions that WiFi 6E adds the 6GHz band before going back to explaining WiFi 6.
Geoffrey Kail

Does it make your existing devices faster or does it just go back to the lower band to communicate with them. In other words do the wifi cards need to be upgraded with a new router.

Is it just me or is Ry is looking more and more like 1970’s George Lucas? Not an insult, by the way.

I bought a WiFi 6 router a while back, but my secondary router is still WiFi 5. It gets replaced tomorrow.
I have a grand total of two WiFi 6 devices (phones), and zero WiFi 6E devices. I’ll be getting another WiFi 6 device in August.
I’ll be in no hurry to get those new routers when they come out later this year. That 6GHz band is going to be even worse at penetrating walls than the 5GHz band. I won’t be interested in that band until I have a much more congested network.

They gotta chill with releasing nee WiFi standards, at least for until 5 years. And let the manufacturers, the industry and the user market to catch up first.
Geez, we barely even have WiFi 6 devices right now and then we got a new WiFi 6E now

To access Wi-Fi 6E, do you need a Wi-Fi 6E enabled device or will a Wi-Fi 6 enabled device do?

I’m guessing the 6ghz band is even worse than 5ghz for signal and transfer speeds through walls?

Useless, as my carrier can’t even provide me its theoretical max bandwidth. I argued with them and they said I needed a wifi modem with high speeds. When I showed them my alienware laptop with the fast modem, they said, and I quote, “it is advertised as UP TO xxx bandwidth…”. I live in the city in a new building with optic fibre. I am close to the switch. It’s just LIES and they know it. I knew more than the two techs they sent. 😑
