However, getting your network ready for faster devices that are on the way is wise, and a Wi-Fi 6E router can reduce network congestion issues even if no connected devices support it.<\/p>\n<p>Wi-Fi is an ever-evolving <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a>, so it\u2019s not unusual to see new products regularly hit the market with promises of faster speeds and more stable connections. One such technology you might have come across recently is Wi-Fi 6E. So what is it, and do you need it?<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_Wi-Fi_6E\"><\/span>What Is Wi-Fi 6E?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/519823\/wi-fi-6e-what-is-it-and-how-is-it-different-from-wi-fi-6\/\">Wi-Fi 6E is the evolution of the Wi-Fi 6 standard that was introduced in 2019. Wi-Fi 6 represented the first attempt to standardize wireless networking with a more palatable name (802.11ax doesn\u2019t have the same ring), a move that seems to have stuck and should help you better differentiate wireless standards going forwards.<\/p>\n<p>Wi-Fi 6E uses a frequency of between 5.925 GHz to 7.125 GHz in the US (this may differ elsewhere due to the way radio frequencies are regulated). Early iterations of Wi-Fi were limited to the 2.4 GHz band, then dual-band routers added 5 GHz to the spectrum. Wi-Fi 6E finally expands this to the 6 GHz band.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-856145 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/wi-fi_6e_alliance.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"337\" data-credittext=\"Wi-Fi Alliance\" 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\">Wi-Fi Alliance<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The technology also increases the number of wide data channels that a router can create, with up to eight 160 MHz bands (one on the 5 GHz band, seven on the 6 GHz band) or 14 separate 80 MHz bands, making it ideal for devices that benefit from a high-bandwidth, low-latency connection.<\/p>\n<p>Though the standard was officially adopted in 2020, many manufacturers only just started adding support for the standard to devices in 2022.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Benefits_Does_Wi-Fi_6E_Have\"><\/span>What Benefits Does Wi-Fi 6E Have?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Like the 5 GHz band before it, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/405105\/5ghz-wi-fi-isnt-always-better-than-2.4ghz-wi-fi\/\">distance isn\u2019t a strong point when it comes to the 6 GHz band. Due to a reliance on the 6 GHz band, Wi-Fi 6E is more limited in terms of range than the technology that came before it. Many devices will only work on the 6 GHz band while in the same or an adjoining room, reverting to 5 GHz (or 2.4 GHz) when you venture out of range.<\/p>\n<p>The real benefit of Wi-Fi 6E is in solving congestion. The technology reduces problems in crowded, high-density environments where there are a lot of competing networks. 6E benefits those who live in large apartment buildings or who work in large office buildings. The 6 GHz band has up to 1200 MHz of spectrum and 60 channels, compared with 500 MHz and 25 channels on the 5 GHz band.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-856139\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/broadcom_wifi_6e_channels.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Wi-Fi 6E channels and spectrum comparison\" width=\"650\" height=\"357\" 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\">Broadcom<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>There are also advantages in terms of speed and latency, with Wi-Fi 6E supporting a maximum theoretical speed of 9.6 Gbps. The Netgear RAXE300 router we reviewed in August 2022 promised a maximum throughput of 2.4 Gbps. We also reviewed the Linksys Hydra Pro 6E\u00a0in October which claims a top speed of up to 4.8 Gbps on the 6 GHz band. (Of course,\u00a0your actual speeds depend on several factors, including your home\u2019s construction and the speeds provided by your ISP.)<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not just speed that\u2019s improved with Wi-Fi 6E, but latency too. Wi-Fi 6E chipsets are capable of less than 1 millisecond of latency, perfect for Wi-Fi calling, gaming over the wireless network (locally or online), and tethering devices like augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR) headsets.<\/p>\n<p>Like Wi-Fi 6 before it, 6E is capable of mesh networking. This allows you to overcome some of the limitations in terms of range by carefully positioning nodes around your house or office (though this could be an expensive endeavor).<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_Devices_Support_Wi-Fi_6E\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_2\">Which Devices Support Wi-Fi 6E?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Like any new technology, it takes time for manufacturers to get on board. Adoption tends to lag by several years in terms of networking, but the upside is that devices that use the newest standards (like Wi-Fi 6E) retain compatibility with older standards. This allows you to invest in new gadgets with better capabilities without feeling obliged to upgrade your network equipment until the time is right.<\/p>\n<p>Apple is one company that has dragged its heels in terms of adopting Wi-Fi 6E. Its latest flagship devices including the iPhone 14 (and 14 Pro), MacBook Pro (2021), and MacBook Air (2022) can only make use of Wi-Fi 6 networks.

You may want to wait until this h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ens before jumping in. A standard <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/831248\/best-mesh-routers\/\">Wi-Fi 6 mesh router system may be a better use of funds until prices begin to fall.<\/p>\n<p>Still, depending on your situation you may see a benefit right now. If you\u2019re struggling with network congestion in a dense urban environment, a Wi-Fi 6E router could be a good investment. If you\u2019re able to add Wi-Fi 6E to your desktop with a relatively inexpensive network card, the upgrade could be worth it. If you\u2019re an early adopter and have a few devices that already support the standard, a router upgrade may make sense to you.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wi-Fi_6E_Routers_Are_Available_Now\"><\/span>Wi-Fi 6E Routers Are Available Now<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One argument for investing in a Wi-Fi 6E router right now is that you\u2019re overdue for a router upgrade. Perhaps your old <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/165110\/do-i-really-have-to-unplug-my-cable-modem-for-at-least-10-seconds\/\">router isn\u2019t working like it used to and you\u2019re seeing frequent crashes, or you\u2019re tired of slow speeds and an unstable connection. You could jump ahead of the Wi-Fi 6 standard and invest in the 6E future right now.<\/p>\n<p>Check out our best Wi-Fi 6E routers roundup\u00a0to see our top recommendations. A mesh router system will provide the best coverage, but you\u2019ll need to invest well over $1000 (at the time of writing) if you want both speed\u00a0<em>and<\/em>\u00a0complete coverage. Alternatively, consider if your money would be better spent investing in a wired Ethernet setup.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_About_Wi-Fi_7\"><\/span>What About Wi-Fi 7?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Wi-Fi 6E is barely out of the gate but <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/831645\/wi-fi-7-is-one-step-closer-to-reality\/\">Wi-Fi 7 is clawing at the door. The future of wireless networking promises speeds up to three times faster than Wi-Fi 6E (just short of 30 Gbps). Routers aren\u2019t due until mid-2023 at the earliest, with connecting devices likely to lag a few years after that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>Wi-Fi 7: What Is It, and How Fast Will It Be?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
