Would you drive a Lamborghini to take the kids to soccer practice? Even if money was no object, the answer is likely no. While fast enough to get the job done, good luck fitting everyone and everything inside. An extreme example, but the same idea holds true for many things, such as your home network. A good home network needs more than just raw speed. It also needs to provide features that make it the right fit for you and your family. Is Wi-Fi 6 worth the upgrade? That depends entirely on how you use your network today, or how you may use it in the future. Let’s talk about what exactly Wi-Fi 6 can offer you.
Wi-Fi 6 and the Congested Network
As you would expect with a full generation advancement, overall speed has been improved with Wi-Fi 6. While real-world issues can significantly affect total speeds on either network type, the bandwidth possibilities of Wi-Fi 6 vs Wi-Fi 5 were greatly increased. This is a critical improvement because many of our devices demand the ability to send greater and greater amounts of information, such as 4K HDR streaming or VR games and experiences. As I mentioned earlier, that's not the be-all and end-all. Wi-Fi 6 adds some really cool and useful upgrades that can make it matter to many. The three major benefits that you will need to concern yourself with are MU-MIMO, OFDMA, and TWT, nerdy and complicated terms that I promise are easy to understand.
Over the years, we have rapidly increased the number of devices in our homes that need to connect to the Internet. It's not uncommon for a family to have multiple phones, tablets, laptops, gaming consoles, smart TVs, smart speakers, smartwatches, and security systems vying for that overall bandwidth. Never mind smart refrigerators, smoke alarms, thermostats, light bulbs, outlets, remote controls, and robotic vacuums.
