      @@Sunshineandroses1 Yeah, WiFi6 means 802.11ax. It's just a standard for both 2.4ghz and 5ghz. It's still dual barnd.
      Wi-Fi 6e is TRI-band and goes on into the 6ghz range.
      As well all know, higher frequencies = shorter ranges but faster speeds. Takes more power to push a higher frequency the same distance.
      So, Wi-Fi 6e also has less range, so don't expect to be picking up on it outside of your house, but you can always fall back to Wi-Fi6 and use the 5ghz band.
      Wi-Fi 6e 80hz is 1.2Gbps and then there's even 160mhz in some parts of the country or world and that's 2.4Gbps.
      But, remember, you can take your best case scenario Wi-Fi 6e 160mhz and bandwidth benchmark it against 2.5Gbps LAN and LAN > WiFI all day, every day for true throughput.

What benefits does a Wifi 6e router gives compared to a Wifi 6 router? besides the 6e having a third 6GHz channel that has a pretty low range, most devices will connect to either 2.4GHz or 5GHz (through Wifi 6 protocols), so that makes the 6e kinda useless for the time being?

      I upgraded to W6 in oct 2019 right when I got fiber Internet. It is amazing easily got 750 up-and-down over the air. but now that I have multi gig, I upgraded to W6E. I’m easily able to get 1800 OTA on supported devices. But it’s still only a fraction of my Internet speed. Hopefully Wi-Fi 7 can get real multi-gig around 4 to 5 Gbps on Wi-Fi. If it could be that fast, it would virtually eliminate the need for me to use my wired network.

So my devices can communicate uninterrupted on any 6 ghz channel. Most people are just now starting to utilize more wifi 6 devices so 6 ghz channels are still widely unused right now.

    I am still planning on Wi-Fi7, but that is only because I need a wireless bridge between buildings, and the building where fiber comes onto the property is not the primary residence. I don't expect being able to be able to use Wi-Fi7 on end devices for a while, but I do want it for the bridge. If only I'd have been smart enough to bury a pipe before pouring all that concrete. And yes, I know an overhead wire would be the simplest, but I absolutely don't want an overhead wire.

    you're incorrect tho, you can definitely see a benefit of wifi 7 without having wifi 7 devices if you go with a WiFi 7 mesh.. in my case i use a mesh node to a switch then to multiple devices via ethernet.. so i do see a benefit my speeds and latency have greatly improved over the 6e router i had (Asus Et12)..

    • @UltimateTechHub
      @UltimateTechHub  Год назад +3

      Actually most homes would not see a benefit because most homes have under 200mbps up and down. If you have 1gig fiber or 2gig fiber than wifi6e is plenty. I have 1 gig fiber and wifi6e gets me 940mbps up and down and that's what CenturyLink guarantee's and that's with low latency. Wifi7 is the future but it's just not necessary for most homes or businesses. Thanks for you great comments and thank you for watching!

    Hi, I just built a new PC with a Z790 chipset motherboard that supports Wifi7. I have a very old Wifi 5 Modem (not even a router) and I'm planning to upgrade it with a Asus GT-BE98 Wifi 7 Router. Would that make sense in my situation while having a PC with Wifi 7 feature? By the way, my PC is connected to the internet through Wifi. I don't have an ethernet available in my computer room. And Wifi 7 should had backward compatibility right? Even though my phone has Wifi 6E, it should be able to use its full potential with a Wifi7 router I suppose. Thank you for your help.

    Even after a my IP contract renewal, I still couldn't get an updated router. To do that my existing would have to fail or I would have to move and only with a new install would I get a new router. After delays and frequent buffering I explored purchasing my own. This was a week ago, so I know the WiFi 7 Authority have agreed on specs etc. Every thing I have is new build WiFi 6, but as I buy long term I comparison shopped and purchased a TP Link BE93000 Archer 550 WiFi 7, for a lesser cost of some WiFi 6 - 6E routers. I realize that it'll be a long time before I have 7, but what I have has improved everything lightening fast it's tri mesh band and my 8K TV streams imagery resolution unlike ever before. My UHD computer monitors have never been as clear and searches lightening fast. In the long term I think I got a great deal by comparison shopping and won't have to upgrade router again to get WiFi 7 when ever!.

      Yes Wi-Fi7 routers can connect to Wi-Fi6e Devices. If both routers are the same price then Wi-Fi7 is the best choice. However, I've reviewed both of these routers and the advantage of ASUS is no subscription fees. TP-Link does require subscription fees for some advanced features which are mostly security controls like parental controls and content filters. But if you don't need those then go with the BE9300 its a fine router and looks pretty cool too! Keep me posted on which one do pick! Here are both of my reviews

    The comparisons and differences of wifi 6, 6e and 7 is all well and fine but the video fails us by hiding a truth.
