AC 1200 Netgear47 router, model #R6120

I would like to know if this router is a WI FI 6 as I am looking to purchase a firestick 4K

  • No, WiFi 4/5. You'll need something from NG that has RAX in the model for WiFi 6 support.

        Are you looking for wifi 6 (2.4ghz/5gh) or something with 6ghz? 

        6ghz would be a wireless 6E device.

    What tells you that you need Wifi 6 to use a Firestick 4K? The ads for that say "supports Wi-Fi 6" then add:

     

    To benefit from Wi-Fi 6, a compatible Wi-Fi 6 router, such as the eero 6+, is required. Fire TV Stick 4K is also compatible with earlier Wi-Fi routers.

     

    The speed of your network depends as much on your Internet service than on the devices you connect to it.
