WiFi 6

Latest network protocol

WiFi 6 is the sixth generation of wireless networking technology, officially designated 802.11ax.

It offers faster speeds, better performance in crowded environments, and improved battery efficiency for connected devices compared to earlier standards.

The naming convention (WiFi 4, 5, 6) replaced the technical designations to make generational differences clearer to consumers.
