Can I use a WiFi 6 Adapter and get WiFi 6 with my Modem/Router?
I would like to install a WiFi 6 Adapter in my computer but I fear that it will be a waste of money - because I don't think my Netgear Modem/Router will support it. I went to their Site to see if th...
WHOOPS! Forgot to add the actual Model #: C7000v2. I dnlded the Manual and found all the pertinnent directions to BRIDGE it
as you told me and I believe that I would be aable too do this [if/when I decide to do it].
My present Interent Service fm Xfinity runs at @ 100Mbs......Reading alot about the potential speeds of WiFi 6 ... I was thinking that it may
solve some of my buffering problems at times when I am Streaming ALL of my TV Service, that is thhe main reason, but now that I have read further....I think I am "jumping da gun", in reality, looks like it will not really be able to really do what it is capable of for sometime?

100 Mbps should not have buffering issues.
Even so faster wifi might not be the best option. If you have a decent and recent TV it may have a wired Ethernet port. If possible, plug from the router into that.
If not, where possible I use Powerline Ethernet. to use my household mains circuit as a substitute for running Ethernet cables all over the place. Easier to set up, and less fragile than wifi. Might even be cheaper
TKS! Sure appreciate learning of all this Tech stuff I never knew exsisted.
I presently run Ethernet connections to maybe 6 different components in my home theater - including my LG OLED TV, it was a PAIN
that's 4 sure running all those E. Cables. Had never heard of what you suggested and will now check that out too....did take a quick look and
did not like price of $84.....but need to check this out! Again.....Thanks!
