We'll see more arrive this year, but the point is that it's still very early for 6E. The newly announced Samsung Galaxy S21 supports 6E, but aside from that, there aren't very many options yet. You'll obviously need Wi-Fi 6E devices on your network in order to put 6E to work in your home. "It's an opportunity for a clean break from the legacy requirements of the 2.4 and 5GHz bands," the Wi-Fi Alliance spokesperson Kevin Robinson told me earlier this month, adding that all devices on the 6GHz band will use the latest WPA3 security standard. That 6GHz band has over twice as much bandwidth as the 5GHz band, with room for several, non-overlapping 160MHz channels that your router can use to move data.Ĭouple that abundance of bandwidth with the fact that there aren't any older-gen Wi-Fi devices on the 6GHz band to cause interference, and you're looking at an exclusive, multilane expressway for the latest Wi-Fi devices, every one of which will support the faster speeds and improved networking efficiency of Wi-Fi 6. With Wi-Fi 6E, your router will be able to send signals on the 6GHz band in addition to the usual 2.4 and 5GHz bands that you're probably used to. Before I get to the routers, let me offer a quick breakdown of Wi-Fi 6E and why it matters.
