WiFi 6 Explained
In a nutshell, WiFi 6 should increase connectivity, decrease latency and make your internet connection faster. The changes won’t necessarily change the way that you use your WiFi router and connect your devices but there are a number of smaller upgrades which combined offer impressive improvements. But how is WiFi 6 different?
Increase WiFI Speed
9.6Gbps is the maximum throughput rate compared to 3.5 of WiFi 5. Speeds can be faster than WiFi 5 and this can result in up to 75% less latency. This technology also bridges the gap between having your computer or device hardwired into your router compared to being wirelessly connected to the router itself.
Reduce Network Congestion in Terms of Your Network
Network congestion can be a big impact in terms of overall network speed and latency. Devices are constantly speaking back to the network and if you are a household or business that’s using an extensive number of devices then this could be a concern. You are able to potentially reduce network congestion by opting to use WiFi 6. OFDMA or Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access is the reason that this can occur. The router can send different signals in the same window which can reduce congestion.
