WiFi 6

Wifi 6E Speeds up Your Internet

Wifi 6 is the next-generation wireless standard for internet connectivity. Launched last 2019, it was a considerable upgrade from Wifi 5 with little to no effect no matter the device being used. This is good news to all internet users whether you are in the office or at the comforts of your home.

Wifi 6 and Wifi 6E are significant upgrades from the 2.4 GHz and 5GHz bandwidths. By adding a third one at 6GHz, data travel is faster by tapping into bigger airwaves which quadruples capacity compared to conventional Wifi.

Early adopters of this technology will have access to uninterrupted airwaves (for now at least) as there is plenty to go around with limited users.

We compare Wifi 6 from Wifi 5 and Wifi 6E’s advantages.

The wifi five speed range is 210Mbps – 1 Gbps in the 5 GHz signal. Wifi 6 speed is four times faster, has a larger capacity, and boasts 75% lower latency. As the FCC opens up the 1200 MHz spectrum in the 6GHz band, operating in the 400MHz will be a thing of the past. Many details are still being ironed out regarding capacity issues and allocation, buteverything leads to a better internet connection for customers.

Orthogonal Frequency - Division Multiple Access (OFDMA)

This capability allows devices to use bandwidth with increased efficiency by lessening the time between data transmission. With this overall improvement, other devices have more bandwidth to operate. This can be very useful in making the communication between the router and the devices that connect to it more efficient in using power and saving energy.

High-Bandwidth Traffic Efficiency with 8-Stream Multi-User Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MU-MIMO)

This technology allows routers to communicate with numerous devices at the same time.This feature is handy in large office settings, where many employees use the same router to connect online. Gone are the days when people had to put up with intermittent connections.

Wifi 6 and Wifi 6E Difference

Wifi 6E (The E stands for Extended) can broadcast in the 6GHz frequency, ranging from 5.925 to 7.125 GHz. This allows a 1200 MHz of added spectrum that devices can use. Not like the existing 5GHz frequency band, which crams channels into a limited range. The new 6 GHz band boasts of faster speeds, more bandwidth, and lower latency. This is something AR/VR (Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality) and 8K streaming fans will be psyched to hear.

They released early 2021 when the first Wifi 6E router was made available to the public via the Asus ROG Rapture GT - AXE11000. It was recognized as being the first router to offer 6GHz edge capability. This spider-like device signaled the future of gaming and showed how quick technological advances are these days.

Wifi 6 vs. Wifi 6E Speed

The main difference between Wifi 6 and Wifi 6E is speed. Wifi 6E allows for 7 added 160 MHz and 14 80 MHz channels that double throughout, making simultaneous transmissions at ultra-high rates entirely possible. To make it simple, watching 8K movies, downloading large files, and AR/VR gaming runs seamlessly without fear of lag or buffering.
