What's WiFi 6 and what can you use it for?

WiFi 6 uses 2 frequencies. WiFi 6E and WiFi 7 divide this over even more frequencies. That way, you can connect even more devices than with WiFi 6 or WiFi 5. The maximum bandwidth is also bigger, to your maximum internet speed is much higher.

WiFi 6 uses a different way of transferring data to your devices than older WiFi standards. This provides a higher speed and more capacity. That means you can connect more devices. This is ideal if you have a smart home with multiple devices.

The maximum WiFi speed of WiFi 6 is 3 times higher than the top speed of WiFi 5. This doesn't result in faster internet right away with an average connection. It does ensure that you can forward things faster within your own network. If you stream a lot of movies in high quality, WiFi 6 is definitely worth it. You also maintain a high speed for longer. In addition, you can watch series in another room if that wasn't possible before.

With WiFi 6, you get a higher speed at a greater distance from your router than with WiFi 5. WiFi 6 works on both a high and a low frequency. That low frequency goes through thick walls and ceilings more easily. This allows you to also have WiFi on another floor. It also improves the coverage and speed of mesh WiFi. This way, you really have WiFi throughout the entire house.

Do you have a lot of smart home devices? These devices often support WiFi 6. WiFi 6 ensures that you can be online with more devices at the same time than with WiFi 5. This is possible because devices with WiFi 6 don't occupy a full WiFi channel constantly. They only use the bandwidth that's needed. This way, you can always stream movies without lags. Even if all your devices are online at the same time.
