WHY CHOOSE WI-FI 6?

If you’re feeling the need for speed (or just want to ensure your fancy new mesh setup is future-proof) you’ll probably want a Wi-fi 6 router and mesh extenders. Wi-fi 6 (aka 802.11ax) sits on the 6GHZ band and supports a theoretical download speed of 9.6Gbps, as opposed to Wi-fi 5’s 3.5Gbps.

BRAKE AWAY

In reality, most of us aren’t going to need all that bandwidth any time soon, but as we add more and more wireless kit to our homes and broadband speeds soar ever higher, Wi-fi 6 is going to bring markedly improved network performance. Fewer bottlenecks, reduced buffering and smoother downloads? We can all get behind that. Wi-fi 6 gear also supports WPA3 security as a minimum, which is reassuring.
