It’s predicted that WiFi 6 will start to roll out in 2019 and soon you will see and hear a lot more about this technology.

We all use WiFi and WiFi products in our day to day lives, so learning more about the latest technology is important.

Here is some critical information about WiFi 6 and how it will affect your internet usage.

What exactly is WiFi 6?

WiFi 6 is the next generation of wireless internet standard. When you are connected to and using the Internet but are not on a wired set-up, you are using WiFi.

To understand WiFi 6 upgrades, think about it as an iPhone for a second. Every year, a new iPhone comes out. It has many of the same features as the previous iPhone, but there are just a few changes that make this new version different and more modern. The same is true with WiFi 6. For the most part, it is very similar to its predecessors, WiFi 5, released in 2014, and WiFi 4, released in 2009. But there are a few changes that make it slightly differently, allowing you to browse the internet on a wireless connection faster.

How does WiFi 6 differ from WiFi 5?

One of the biggest differences between WiFi 6 and WiFi 5 is that WiFi 6 has the ability to squeeze more bandwidth out of your existing router. This helps to increase the capacity of the same channels you are already using with less interference. At the end of the day, this means that your WiFi will be faster and less congested. This is the biggest difference between WiFi 5 and WiFi 6.

Lesser known ways that they differ is that WiFi 6 increases network efficiency, provides a faster throughput and can help to extend the lifespan of your devices.

How will WiFi 6 affect your home internet?

It is estimated that WiFi 6 will increase home internet usage speeds by as much as 40 percent. This allows you to download information or stream much faster. Less congestion also allows you to connect more devices to the internet without slowing down your service and speed. More people than ever are using the Internet on multiple devices, such as laptops, tablets, and phones. The latest technology allows you to connect multiple devices without experiencing a slowdown. This is the biggest advantage and benefit of this new technology.

Home internet is not the only area that will see changes. It is also expected that public WiFi connections will offer improved performance, thanks to less congestion. This will make it faster and easier to use WiFi connections when you are out and about.
