What is WiFi 6E? (& Why Your Next Router Should Have It)

The latest version of WiFi is called WiFi 6E and if you've heard of it, maybe you've been wondering what WiFi 6E is exactly?
In this video, I'll explain what WiFi 6E is, what the difference is between WiFi 6 vs WiFi 6E and why it's such an important update to the WiFi standard.

Well i was expecting a Decodr episode with Qualcomm as I said on Twitter, but my friend, that was extremely fast! Also Is discussing these tech with a friend recently, so sharing it, great video as always, hopefully we will get more of your content with this trip. Liked as always

[@kevinmikulaj]

Looks like some nice collaboration devices. The outtakes are still great!

[@venci005]

That’s so cool to know David 👍🏻👍🏻 Glad to learn more from newer wifi standards today.

[@TheUnlockr]

Thanks for watching it!

[@sammyj349]

Just found your channel like 2 weeks ago on your surface laptop studio review video. Followed you and never looked back. Keep up the great work. I love your content

[@TheUnlockr]

Thank you so much!!

[@ranaaliali3607]

Pkkkkk

[@matheusbunnschmitt5548]

Decodr series always brightens my day

[@TheUnlockr]

Aw thank you!

[@dapragmaticowl142]

There are so many videos on routers and 6e, could you do a video about modems and their specs?

[@shrabanihati]

Thanks for the information...

[@kevinhawthorne5257]

Excellent Video!

[@TraumaIsGood]

Finally the video I've been waiting for 4 months

[@TheUnlockr]

Glad I could help!

[@Sunshineandroses1]

You should have used Wi-Fi 6 e. You would have got it sooner😂

[@MS-hb5mz]

Thank you...can you also make a video to show difference between 6E and 7 please

[@CluelessDadGamer]

good to know for when the quest 3 comes out

[@sumayyahalharbi6194]

Interesting I searched the topic after the IPhone conference 🤔 still did not quite get it but what you said seems important and good for speed the question is will the IPhone 15 have it or only the pro?

[@SpaceWithSam]

Well explained!👍

[@TheUnlockr]

Thank you!

[@Ultrajamz]

Will this be interfering with wireless homephones? I think they use 6.4Ghz

[@iu1191]

Dude, Thanks so much for making this video. I really needed it. I understood wifi6 but was a little confused about 6E. Also one of the biggest reasons I understood Wiwfi6 was because you explained it so well in your last video. Did some further reading and voila - some understanding penetrated my head and a WIFI AX router entered our home. Justy one question - My router asks me if I want to enable the 6Ghz band. If I say yes to that - do I have to have 6ghz enabled clients to take advantage of that or can any wifi6 devices take advantage of that? Thanks in advance.

[@defiant888]

My guess they can only take advantage of it, if they have a 6E modem in them, otherwise no.

[@TheUnlockr]

Thanks so much for watching this one! And yes the devices and router both need 6E support to use 6Ghz

[@theflipsidestory]

I hadn't really paid much attention to the WiFi 6/E generation though I use a Huawei 5G router/modem at home. I think the sheer naming convention let me subconsciously believe that WiFi 6 was already using 6Ghz (though I somewhat consciously set up the 2.4/5Ghz networks myself, duh). Thanks for the explanation and pointing out there is a 6E even! Great video as always.

[@TheUnlockr]

Totally get that confusion and partly why I wanted to make the video. Thanks so much for watching it!

[@eyesharp564]

I've searched some, but can't find any video showing how much the speed drops as you go farther from the router, room to room. And when you say walls, walls of ANY material?

[@deepakdas004]

Wow,,,,,,, amazing information

[@TheUnlockr]

So glad you liked it!

[@champroh]

SoI have to upgrade not only my router but phone too??.....DANG IT....🥲

[@TheUnlockr]

Lol yeahhhh

[@Chockster612]

🕵 Very cool!! I'm going to go back now and watch the first video you did on Wi-Fi. I will be sure my next phone is 6E capable before I buy it. And for that matter, any other electronic device I buy going forward. As always, nice work! Thank you

[@TheUnlockr]

Thanks so much!

[@elisha770]

Cool makes sense.. Sorry if already answered.. love the resolution, what camera are you using? thks

[@TheUnlockr]

Check the link in the description for all the camera gear I use

[@iBonnieYT]

Amazing video

[@TheUnlockr]

Thank you!

[@user-gd4io5iu5r]

Thanks for this informative video bro👍🏻

[@TheUnlockr]

Thank you for watching it!

[@4givenoxygenbarez]

will you make a wifi 7 video as well eventually?

[@TheUnlockr]

For sure

[@robertmoss5874]

Just ran across your video in researching this topic. Tremendous and easy resource to understand as a novice, so thanks for putting this together! In your expert opinion, would I need to invest the extra $'s for 6E given the following: Single family home, 2 neighbors either side that are a couple hundred feet away w/nothing front or back, 1 PS4 + 3 TV's + various other devices (phones, a tablet, a laptop, a desktops etc...). Not a huge house. I am understanding that the 6E capability really helps in places with a high-density # of devices needing constant WiFI access, and I don't think I have that here. So simply wondering your thoughts on this. Thanks again for the information!

[@TheUnlockr]

Thank you for this!

[@PatrickScott9192]

@@TheUnlockr very insightful

[@harshalashar786]

Great video bud. However most of your audience will have to wait another couple of years to enjoy such speeds

[@TheUnlockr]

Thank you! And true but still good to know what it is now no

[@Netherlandse]

dostum wifi 6 modem var ve s8ultra tabletim var 6e destekliyor sonuç ne olur

[@wilberthchaconalfaro7690]

Do you know which phones have wifi 6e?

[@davidjamgochian]

Thanks

[@TheUnlockr]

Thank YOU

[@BlaqViper]

Cool and informative video, not to mention being a subliminal enabler of coffee adicts.. 😳☕️ With WiFi 7 routers starting to appear, though still no devices, will you do a WiFi 7 version of this video?

[@TheUnlockr]

Thank you! And yes, working on WiFi 7 soon!

[@bill3117]

Wish I would have seen this before converting from a 6 to 6E system. Part of it was that my Internet service provider insisted that my 2GB plan would benefit. Well, I suppose it would if I actually had 6E devices, which it does not. Also, as you report the range is not as good, so I am adding to of my own Eeero Pro 6E units just to extend the coverage, and hopefully recover some of the Wifi speed I had under the 6 system. I suppose one might argue I'm future proofing. But, most of my devices are Apple, and as far as I know Apple's current iPad, iPhones, and M1 MacMini don't support 6E. Future proofing with tech. rarely pays off I'm afraid. It just evolves too fast ;) This of course is on me for not doing research and trusting my Internet service provider.

[@aaduwaikh]

Quick tech digest decrypted - well done

[@TheUnlockr]

Thank you!

[@LeesReviews69]

If my internet is 200 down 20 up, Im a single guy that has the latest Apple devices, Google smart home, lights and outlet switches, a Quest2/PS5/XSX, should I upgrade to 6E or stay with my Google Nest WiFi at 5Ghz? Thank you

[@sourabhmeena1996]

Stay with 5ghz band wi-fi 5 is more than enough for 400mbps internet too

[@The_Tutankhamen]

IDOL you like Daniel Radcliffe + incredible learnings 💪 good stuff IDOL ❤️

🙏🙏🙏

[@wahajbabar3598]

I'm watching your videos since you used to do root stuff

[@TheUnlockr]

Thank you for watching after all this time!

[@Nerd-tech-news]

I would probably upgrade from Wi-Fi 5 to Wi-Fi 7 directly.

[@szewei85]

Haha i had wifi 6 4 more than 6 months already and i pair with the s20 ultra still rocking more than 2 years hahahaha

[@wahajbabar3598]

Nice

None of my devices can see the 6 ghz

[@kevinwells4986]

So cool, I stop commenting here. (but thanks! - I'll be in the market someday I bet) ooops... I lied.

[@Elmhlawy_]

Early

[@TheUnlockr]

Thank you for coming early!

[@fbd4209]

You are 6E ;)

This device is not affordable or suitable for most users, and it does not produce high-quality photos easily. Despite that, I like the fifth attempt of Sony. 🎉
