WiFi 6 ISN'T a Big Deal...Or Is It?!
WiFi 6 is here, and devices supporting the new standard are starting to hit store shelves, both off- and online. WiFi 6 promises to bring faster speeds and greater capacity... but there are some ...
Myth #3: WiFi 6 is blazing fast, but only if you have 50+ devices connected
Like-to-like, WiFi 6 increases the speed for even one device by 40% as compared to WiFi 5. If you get one of the newer laptop built-with Intel’s Gig+ technology, you can instantly double the speeds when matched with right WiFi 6 router.
You will not experience any gains from the technology when using wifi 5 end point devices to connect to wifi 6 routers. Perhaps wifi 6 end point devices will reap the true benefit to WIFI 6 being "blazing fast." In any case, I agree that this has nothing to do with 50+ devices even though wifi 6 will support more wifi 6 connections (and yes 50+) in the future.
- The only big deal about wifi 6 and Netgear’s range of RAX routers is that they don’t work as they should and people are making a big deal about the buggy firmware for them and not getting any support from Netgear
