Wi-Fi 6 is here, and it’s the latest and greatest new wireless networking standard.
, which certifies devices to the IEEE’s standards and holds the trademark on “Wi-Fi.”
Each generation bundles together a collection of improvements that make your wireless experience faster and more consistent. For instance, Wi-Fi 5 introduced beamforming, a technique that allows routers to focus their signals directly at devices rather than transmit in all directions. As one of the main benefits for a centrally maintained standard, every version of Wi-Fi has been backward compatible, so Wi-Fi 6 devices will work with Wi-Fi 1-5 devices.
Performance in a crowded network is ultimately Wi-Fi 6’s signature feature. More and more people are connecting smart devices to home networks, including thermostats, lights, refrigerators, locks, and security cameras. Though those gadgets may not need much bandwidth in many cases, the inflated number of devices on the network can drag down the speed of the things you want to work fast, like computers, phones, and game consoles.
At the time of writing, Wi-Fi 6 is widely available on high-end phones, laptops, and routers, and a growing number of less expensive products as well, but it is still far from supplanting Wi-Fi 4 and 5 as the dominant standards. If you’re an early adopter whose house is growing smarter by the day, or already need to support a fairly busy wireless network, then you should consider upgrading to a Wi-Fi 6 and building around the standard.
