Would suggest you state the name of your recommended router, that affiliate link only works correctly in US (VPN tested), takes me in UK to "NETGEAR R8000 Nighthawk AC3200" I know that isn't WiFi 6, I own it (bought 2014), and it is AFAIK the very first Tri-Band Router, and not what you intended to link to, which is this one (found by setting my VPN to new York).

[@Starwarsgames66]

Going from Wi-Fi 5 to Wi-Fi 6 is like going from hub to a switch! It’s that big of a jump! If there was one adjective to describe Wi-Fi 6 it’s “ efficiency”. Everything about Wi-Fi six is geared towards efficiency faster speeds are an afterthought. It’s hard to believe that every single standard of Wi-Fi before Wi-Fi 6 your ax point could only talk to one device at a time and it gets the whole channel bandwidth rather it needs it or not! Talk about an inefficiency!!! Honestly Wi-Fi 6 seems to have been created out of necessity because of IOT devices. It’s really a shame that most smart home manufacturers are lazy and cheap, almost none put Wi-Fi 6 radios in their devices!

I recently subscribed and I felt the need to comment. Thanks a lot for keeping the videos professional and didactic, in a time when nearly all KZbin videos seem to be aimed at children with low attention spans, where even scientific and didactic videos have to be filled with jokes, awful editing, sound effects and showing the host making all kind of annoying facial expressions to grab the audience attention, it's quite a pleasant experience to watch a video where I can learn without those distractions, and having such great animations that go straight to the point help to a better understanding. It almost feels like an early 2000s video, back when didactic videos were meant to teach and not entertain. The ironic thing is, this is even more entertaining than those modern youtuber focused tutorials.

[@kristofferb-e1337]

A number of manufacturers do not follow the WiFi 6 certification, but are still marked as a WiFi 6 product. The problem here is that they do not follow the Wi-Fi Alliance standard 160Hz from the ax standard (up to 1733 Mbps - 4804Mbps on the shorter 5GHz channel), but instead 80MHz which theoretically stops at 450Mbps. What you have to do before you choose one, if you want to really upgrade the speed at home, is to check in the manual that 160Hz is max. Do not buy anything lower, because then the performance is also worse and you do not really have a real WiFi 6 router.

You forgot to mention this also applies to separate access points. With an access point, you can put it in the best location and you can also have more than one, if needed to provide coverage. Many APs can use Power over Ethernet (PoE), so you don't need to have AC power nearby.

[@TheRealKaiProton]

[@haikalmiftah2529]

As a WiFi technician, thanks for the information about new WiFi standard. Yet there's still other thing needed to consider about WiFi performance: router spesification and distance between WiFi to device. Usually router has limitation about how many devices can connected at the same time with maximum bandwith given by ISP before it's reduced (For example, TP-Link WR840 could handle 3-4 devices for normal usage or 2 devices for streaming usage before bandwith speed archieved by connected device reduced). Depend of spesification given by the manufacture. Distance between WiFi to device also important, some devices can only receive WiFi in a short range while the other could receive it in more extended distance (don't forget if a wall, door, etc. could act as a barrier to WiFi signal).

[@raghavendra5698]

2.4ghz & 5ghz still having issues of interference from legacy client devices around ( 11n or 11gn or simply with Wi-Fi 5 or Wi-Fi 4 devices around) . You might less throughput having legacy devices around you. MU-MIMO few frames can't understand by legacy clients. Pure Wi-Fi 6 & Wi-Fi 6e network will work well in 6Ghz . Go for Wi-Fi 6e with 6ghz radio having wider channel width with 160Mhz , have lower latency, higher supported data rate, with proper multi channel planning across campus, with MBSSID beacons making faster scan perfect for fast roaming. 6ghz supports multiple channels around 80 in USA. it's perfect for outdoor deployment. Even Wi-Fi 7 forum started for wider and faster wireless network. MU-MIMO works partially well in 6ghz

[@rmt74358]

I just recently got a WiFi 6E network adapter for my PC and we upgraded our modem/router with Xfinity. ( We plan to buy our own very soon ). Before we changed to WiFi 6 I had experienced lag and not so great download speeds. After we got everything updated My PC our speeds improved by a lot and also I have not experienced lag at all. it is the main benefit I am excited about. Playing Call of Duty this is what I experienced: Wifi 5 Latency 150+ms and would even jump often to 400ms up to 999ms for a few seconds Wifi 6 Latency 35ms most of the time. sometimes jumps to 45ms and very rare will go to 50ms. I do not feel any lag. if there is it is barely even noticeable. This is worth every penny.

I bought Wifi 6E network interface card (NIC), but my router / modem is TP link (dual antenna). Do I need to change tp link also? So if that what I need to buy to fully compatibility?

A couple clarifications are needed. OFDMA seems to serve the same function as MU-MIMO so where is the difference? Also I would love to know how reverse compatibility is handled...Please do a video on how something like Wifi 6 is adapts or is compatible with Wifi 5 devices... In fact the all of the other differentiating technologies could use their own video.

[@andrewparamonoff]

MU-MIMO and Beamforming are working on the same mechanism - sounding null data frames with feedback from clients, so they both are very, very uneffective and properly don't work (still today) - due to high overhead needed for this medium sounding. These technologies try to send different frames to different clients from different transmiters - but in whole channel, minimum 20 MHz. OFDMA works by splitting these 20 MHz to smaller channels and sending data to different clients at once - and hey, OFDMA and MU-MIMO are stackable! Reverse compatibility is handled by trigger frames before OFDMA data frames, these trigger frames promote the medium busy for the length on following data frame, and all other "gears" of protocol are still the same. And remember, that preambles of all data frames are still very slow, very inefficinet and very long - but it gives this great compatibility to Wi-Fi that works years and years back.

[@Bippy55]

[@syarifairlangga4608]

Actually not, wifi 6 is using less energy to transfer data than wifi 4 & 5 bcus its more efficient. The problem the router still expensive and the cheap one is very lackluster. Wifi 6E will use more energy tho. Very confusing naming.

[@veni2598]

[@kalijasin]

It varies. Wifi-6 routers: Tp-Link Ax1800 (Archer Ax21) - 12V/1.5A Linksys Ax3200 (E8450) - 12V/2A ASUS AX1800 (RT-AX55) - 12V/1.5A Wifi-5 routers: Linksys EA7300 - 12V/2A Linksys EA7500 12V/3.5A Netgear Nighthawk R700 - 12V/3A Asus Rt-AC88u - 19V/2.37A Note: You asked about power consumption NOT effective radiated power. Two totally different things.

[@remetremet]

@@kalijasin "You asked about power consumption NOT effective radiated power. Two totally different things." And therefore you wrote max. power supply rating. It is very different thing too. When you have 12V/1.5V power supply - it does not mean it consumes 18 Watts. It can supply 18 Watts at max and consume something like 22W max. (because of efficiency of these small power supplies). Real consumption of these Soho routers is between 5 and 15 Watts - you have to measure it. The reason of power supply (adapter) manufacturer chosen is just about the price, availability or what they have "in the house" (this is nice example of Asus, as they use these 19V adapters for everything and it would expensive to design something new).

[@AJ-lu3wx]

If your wifi device is getting a bad strength signal from the router now, going to 6 will not be a fix. Most likely there are other wifi disrupting factors involved such as conduit/electrical/HVAC etc in the walls and the higher the wifi number (2.4/5/6) the shorter the wavelength and the harder it is to go through those walls.

[@michaelelkin9542]

This is probably the best video I have seen about wifi 6. However, I would like to know what if wifi 5 or older exists on the network. With the carts going to separate devices, can wifi 6 send cards to AX devices while also talking to AC devices or does the entire network completely stop when talking to older devices? I think only in about 2020 did nearly every device like smart TVs and tv sticks and refrigerators supported AC, so it will be another 5-10 years until all devices are wifi 6, not just your new phone and laptop. So will wifi 6 be useful or do you need to wait 10 years until wifi 7 is out for wifi 6 to work?
