This article is excellent. Very clear and concise. It distills the extreme technicals of radio into something even I can understand, and gives the impacts of each of these features. 10/10
The fact that we can pull off 4096 QAM is amazing to me. However the article notes that going from 1024 QAM to 4096 QAM only yields a 20% increase in data rate, which I guess is due to all the error correction that becomes necessary when receiving such a signal over the air.
Honestly I just got WiFi 6 and with my first WiFi router with beam forming man this WiFi is crazy fast and reliable as heck.
I’m not the only one late to the party then. I’m finally getting a WiFi 6 router from my ISP in a couple of weeks.
I did not want to wait for my ISP the are still on wifi 5 and the thing needs a reboot all the time so i bought a eero 6 wifi mesh router just one as i am in a apt then my 2 echo pops found out the act at repeaters for eero wifi so it worked out. Wifi 6 is game changer for sure super reliable devices that had a wired connection through Moca i now only use Wifi 6 on as no need for wired as it works just as good 500 down in my entire apt and that is what i pay for so sounds good to me.
320mhz bandwidth is the real deal.
If you are interested in really understanding wifi technology, the difference between the various versions, practical considerations, and cutting through all the marketing hype, I’d highly recommend reading this website.
Is this the version that can detect objects and movement in the room?
Wouldn’t that be possible on every version with MIMO?
