I'm enhancing my internet speed to 500 Mbps and considering a new router upgrade. I've been facing connectivity problems throughout the house, particularly in the backyard, so a mesh network seems like a good idea. I'm curious about choosing Wi-Fi 6 versus Wi-Fi 5. While Wi-Fi 5 seems sufficient, my neighbors also use multiple networks, so I'm wondering if opting for Wi-Fi 6 would provide a more stable connection. The 6e model isn't affordable right now, but I'm thinking about waiting a few months to see if 6e becomes available.
It doesn't really assist with interference, and 6e is better suited for short-range applications. The cost difference between the 5 and 6 mesh configurations is significant and will greatly influence your decision. Looking forward to seeing you on the forum!
It also boosts the velocity across the distance on each frequency.
That means you merged two ideas into one, forming a point I don’t understand.
It should cover the same range while maintaining stability at that point, particularly with its 4x4 MIMO design offering greater capacity to get feedback from the client.
Ah, right there. Most backyards fall inside a router's coverage area, which makes sense.
People often overlook the importance of a vendor's setup rather than the technology itself. Two routers in the same spot can yield vastly different results, depending on placement. The exact location matters a lot—even a tiny shift can significantly impact performance. I’ve moved to a ceiling-mounted wireless access point for a cleaner setup with fewer obstructions. Recently, I upgraded to WiFi 6, which boosted my phone battery life thanks to Target Wake Time. Unlike older networks that constantly ping, WiFi 6 only sends data when needed, making it more efficient.
