In today's connected world, having a reliable and fast internet connection is essential. This is especially true for large homes with control systems.  With the rise of video conferencing, online streaming, and smart home devices, it's more important than ever to have a network that can handle the demands of modern technology. That's where Wi-Fi 6 comes in.

​

Wi-Fi 6, also known as 802.11ax, is the latest wireless standard that promises to deliver faster speeds, improved performance, and better connectivity for all your devices. In this article, we'll explore the benefits of upgrading from Wi-Fi 5 to Wi-Fi 6.

​

1. Faster speeds

One of the most significant benefits of Wi-Fi 6 is its faster speeds. Wi-Fi 6 is capable of delivering speeds of up to 9.6 Gbps, which is almost three times faster than Wi-Fi 5. This means you can download large files, stream 4K videos, and play online games without any lag or buffering.

​

2. Improved performance in crowded areas

Wi-Fi 6 uses a technology called Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), which allows multiple devices to share the same channel without causing interference. This means that even in crowded areas, such as apartments or offices, you can expect a reliable and fast connection.

​

3. Better battery life for devices

Wi-Fi 6 also introduces a new technology called Target Wake Time (TWT), which allows devices to schedule when they wake up and communicate with the router. This reduces the amount of time devices spend searching for a signal and improves battery life. In fact, some studies have shown that devices connected to Wi-Fi 6 networks can last up to 30% longer than those connected to Wi-Fi 5 networks.

​

4. Enhanced security

Wi-Fi 6 also includes the latest security protocols, such as WPA3, which provides stronger encryption and better protection against hacking and phishing attacks. This means you can browse the internet and connect to your network with peace of mind, knowing that your data is secure.

 

5. Future-proofing your network

Finally, upgrading to Wi-Fi 6 future-proofs your network for the next generation of devices. As more and more devices become Wi-Fi 6 compatible, you'll be able to take advantage of their faster speeds and improved performance. Plus, Wi-Fi 6 is backwards compatible with Wi-Fi 5 devices, so you don't need to worry about compatibility issues.
