Unfortunately, some of these streams are on the slower 2.4GHz channel, and the faster 5GHz streams are prone to interference from walls, home electronics, and neighbors\u2019 routers.<\/p>\n<p>Not to mention, all of your internet-connected devices (including smart home products) need to share these eight wireless streams, which only take up about 400MHz of radio spectrum. It\u2019s not an ideal situation, and unless you live in a remote area and own just a few connected products, your Wi-Fi 5 router is dragging you down.<\/p>\n<p>For most people, this is where Wi-Fi 6 comes in. The current-gen Wi-Fi 6 standard still operates on just 400MHz of spectrum and has the same theoretical speeds as Wi-Fi 5, but it offers 12 simultaneous streams for your devices. In effect, Wi-Fi 6 can reduce network congestion and may improve wireless speeds by around 30% in some homes.<\/p>\n<p>But we\u2019re looking to the future. Wi-Fi 6E is the <em>next-gen<\/em> wireless standard,\u00a0offering support for the newly-opened 6GHz channel. While the technology isn\u2019t set in stone just yet, the 6GHz channel should add about 1,200MHz of spectrum to your network. That\u2019s an additional 7 or 8 streams, each with a much wider spectrum (about 150MHz) than what you get with Wi-Fi 5 or Wi-Fi 6.<\/p>\n<p>In effect, Wi-Fi 6E is much less prone to interference than last-gen or current-gen standards. The FCC predicts that this dramatic drop in interference will provide wireless speeds up to 2GBps in some homes and practically eliminate network congestion. Previously, you would need a strong mmWave 5G connection to reach these wireless internet speeds on a phone or laptop.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_You_Wait_to_Buy_a_Wi-Fi_6E_Router\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_1\">Should You Wait to Buy a Wi-Fi 6E Router?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-80350 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/04\/0f1e0fc3.jpg\" alt=\"Linksys Atlas Max 6E router.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Linksys\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Linksys<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Here\u2019s the catch; Wi-Fi 6E is a <em>next-gen<\/em> wireless internet technology. Only a handful of manufacturers sell routers that support the standard, and not all phones or laptops work with the exclusive 6GHz spectrum.<\/p>\n<p>Technically speaking, you can add 6GHz Wi-Fi support to a PC using <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/NICGIGA-5400Mbps-Bluetooth5-2-Ultra-Low-Windows10\/dp\/B08TBJXKW5\/?tag=reviewgeek-20\">a cheap PCIe card<\/a>. And some products, like the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra and the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/redirect.viglink.com\/?key=204a528a336ede4177fff0d84a044482&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Frog.asus.com%2Fus%2Fmotherboards%2Frog-strix%2Frog-strix-z590-i-gaming-wifi-model%2F\">ASUS ROG STRIX Z590-I<\/a> motherboard, already support 6GHz Wi-Fi.<\/p>\n<p>But for the most part, you\u2019ll have to wait about two years before 6GHz Wi-Fi support is a common feature in new products. And that can be a problem, because like any emerging technology, Wi-Fi 6E routers are expensive!<\/p>\n<p>So, you need to decide which path to go down. Should you buy an expensive Wi-Fi 6E router and be the first person in your neighborhood to enjoy the tech? Or should you wait a few years, at which point 6GHz Wi-Fi support will be common and Wi-Fi 6E routers will cost less?<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a tech enthusiast who likes to own all the latest and greatest stuff, the answer should be pretty clear. But for the average person, I suggest holding out a year or two before investing in Wi-Fi 6E. And if you need a new router <em>today<\/em>, a cheaper Wi-Fi 6 router is probably the best solution.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_Wi-Fi_6E_Router_Should_You_Buy\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_2\">Which Wi-Fi 6E Router Should You Buy?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-106557\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/12\/7afbb160-1.png\" alt=\"ASUS ZenWiFi Whole-Home Tri-Band Mesh WiFi 6E System\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/ASUS-Whole-Home-Tri-Band-ET8-Coverage\/dp\/B0979Q7F69?tag=reviewgeek-20\">ASUS<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>There aren\u2019t a lot of Wi-Fi 6E routers to choose from, but the available options are pretty compelling.
