Wifi 6

Post by RonH »

Our broadband router is to be upgraded to this new spec together with a faster broadband wireless to house connection.

From reading, WiFi 6 is stated to be backwards compatible so I assume no problems with connecting our pc' s, smartphones, printer and Internet radio, all purchased within past 3 to 5 years. Likely we do not have latest tech for WiFi 6 and so would not be able to utilise the faster speeds just yet.

Anything I should be especially aware of :scratch:

A WiFi 6 router will automatically communicate using WiFi 5 with devices that don't support WiFi 6, so you shouldn't have any problems.
Best wishes,
Hans

Thanks Hans. Good to get 'double checked'.
It will be great to at last get a decent wireless to house broadband speed for up/down data transfer.
