WiFi 6 (802.11ax) is the latest standard in WiFi technology, which is an improvement on the previous generation WiFi 5 (802.11ac) standard. It is mainly built to improve the user’s surfing experience by increasing network speed. It improves transmission efficiency and reducing network congestion in environments with a large number of devices.

Like the previously released WIFI technical standards, WiFi 6 is also compatible with previous standards. And any terminal device that can connect to WiFi can access the WiFi6 network.

Advantages of WiFi 6
1. Transmission Rate
The maximum transmission rate of WiFi5 is 3.5 Gbps, while the maximum rate of WiFi6 can reach 9.6 Gbps. WiFi 5 only involves the 5 Ghz frequency band, while WiFi 6 covers both 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz frequency bands.

2. Security
If a WiFi 6 device needs to be certified by the WiFi Alliance, it must use the WPA 3 security protocol, which is more secure. When we are using a public network, it improves the security of data transmission by personalizing data encryption. If the password is entered incorrectly multiple times, it will be ...
... considered an attack. So it will block WiFi authentication to prevent the emergence of brute force attacks. In a variety of ways, active protection and passive defense are combined to protect our use of public networks. The security of the WPA3 security protocol is further improved, which can better prevent brute force cracking and brute force cracking.

3. Target Wake Time (TWT)
WiFi 6 introduces Target Wake Time (TWT) technology, which allows active planning of communication time between the device and the wireless router, reducing the use of wireless network antennas and signal search time, which can reduce power consumption to a certain extent and improve device battery life.
