[@aswinp888]

Well because wireless spectrum management is not an easy thing for the FCC you know because a certain service provider might have the license for a slice of a certain frequency band and may choose not to use it. And they use some of these frequencies in specific locations only so lot of factors to consider

Thing is none of this matters if your devices don't support WiFi in 6ghz mode,which a lot of devices still don't. the PS5 only supports WiFi 6 and the Xbox series consoles is worse it only supports WiFi 5. So, they'll never take advantage of WiFi in 6ghz mode. now that WiFi 7 just came out, WiFi 6e is now considered legacy WiFi by technical standards, even though hardly anything supports WIFI 7 yet.

[@sstorholm]

Funnily enough, it’s not quite a downside. Shorter range means that you get less interference from nearby access points, so better signal. You’ll need more access points though if you have a large area to cover. In professional WiFi installations, you quite often limit the output power of APs so they don’t overlap so much, which leads to better roaming between access points.

[@ghanus2009]

Hi ThioJo, Really great explanation. The use of available new channels, and especially the ones you CANNOT use is really important! Perhaps you could cover this WI-FI security topic: One thing I have, as a larger home network engineer / designer, have been concerned with the issues of IOT and security. These are your RUMBAs, refrigerators, garage door openers, plant water monitors etc... All these devices have some associated app that you access over the internet from "anywhere" meaning that the device like the garage door opener talks to the garage door opener manufacturer company that hosts that app on some server, in some hosted environment, somewhere. We are now reliant on the security of these software hosting companies, and that they are keeping up with security updates, and protecting their systems, passwords, accounts, financials from the continuous bombardment of malware, ransomware etc. We, as IT engineers have zero control on that, no SLA, no security bulletins etc. If any of these companies get compromised, they nay now have access to the devices on out networks. YIKES! Who would think that the innocence of installing a garage door opener or internet connected refrigerator with this cool app to control it now can be an entry point to our private network, our computers, financials, gaming accounts etc. Whatever it is, to me, is an uncontrolled vulnerability. But they exist. To fend off this concern, I have started to deploy networks with a private access SSID for the clients to use their WI-FI, and a separate SSID used for the IOT devices. That IOT SSID is tagged onto a separate VLAN that has access only tags on it. This way, if any device companies get hacked, all the device can see are perhaps if anything the other IOT devices on the network. We can even configure so that those IOT devices cannot see other devices on the network. Backwards though, the Client, or service person can access the device from the primary SSID directly if they need access to it. I use mostly Cisco Meraki access points, which their W-FI 6e APs come out April 2022. Their APs can securely create multiple SSIDs with the ability to tag SSIDs to a different VLAN, and you can decide if you want those devices to see other devices on the network.

[@ArcaneEther]

It should be noted that mostly only U.S. made Routers/APs block the use of DFS channels. Those made outside the U.S., especially German and Indian makes, typically allow full DFS access. So if you recently moved to the U.S. from somewhere outside the country and brought your old Router/AP with you and are now experiencing shoddy Wi-Fi, your device is probably using DFS channels.

[@geekmeee]

Thank you for the technical description. I learn something new about 6E with every description. I recently bought the WiF 6 latest mesh network, then the next month WiFi 6E came out. Errr!! But what I found out, this was like going from Jeep to a Hummer, but my need for picking up milk, Hadn’t changed! Which I believe is that 90 - 95% of home users fall into this category. My understanding is, the technical improvements of WiFi 6E are great, but the improvements are geared to benefit the (smaller percentage) industrial users who may be in higher density usage.

6 GHz would have best throughput performance but the least range.. I'd only use the 6 GHz frequency if I lived in a apartment or closed-knit area. It's not really adaptable for houses.

[@ghanus2009]

​@@adamasimolowo8285 Not so. With larger deployments, you move from an internally built Router / WI-FI device to a separated router/Switch, WI-FI Access points. Then design the system to properly cover the site properly with access points. That has always been the case with homes above 4K sq ft.. Now the considerations are more depending on the number of WI-FI enabled devices.

Wonderful presentation and professionally edited. I just ordered a new Vizio TV 4 2023 and it has the 6E in addition to the 2.4 and the Wi-Fi 5. At first I thought I was misreading the specifications on the Vizio 50-in q x LED television set but after going back and seeing that it did say 6E I put a request in to KZbin this morning to find out what it meant and then I thought that Xfinity Comcast wanted me to switch routers but my router handles 2.4 plus 5.0 and Comcast has a specific number of replacement routers that they approve for you son there cables. I only found two companies that make routers that handle the 2.4 and the 5.0. my current router is a TP Link and it works with the 2.4 protocol and I have a second choice which is the 5.0 protocol. When I replace the router, and since my TV is and can handle 2.4, 5, and 6E I will definitely look for a router that has the ability to work with 6 and 6E. I will definitely look for your full explanation video to bring myself up to speed on this category and I thank you for explaining it so clearly.

Thanks to this video, I unintentionally figured out what the (DFS) meant when added to some of the 5GHz channels in my routers advanced settings. Mine apparently lets you select them, but lets you know which channels can be affected. I just never bothered to look. Thankfully there's no weather or airport radar close to my house!

[@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.

​​@@nickloss2377 see my above reply, you're absolutely correct the information is carried between the peak and valley of the wave ( more 1s and 0s ) but due to the wider wave it has less stacked transmission.. much like an electrical circuit, 2.4 is more like series ( additive pressure ) vs 5 parallel ( additive flow ) . 6e is like series parallel.. if you buy a decent router.
