A detailed introduction to the difference between WiFi5 and WiFi6 network speeds

I believe that most of my friends will fully consider the network speed when purchasing a router, so if you want to know if there is a difference in the network speed of wifi5 and wifi6 wireless routers, in fact, in theory there is, but most devices are not compatible, so the actual experience is not very different. Let's take a look together.

The difference between wifi5 and wifi6 network speed:

1. First of all, in theory, the speed of WiFi6 is definitely faster than WiFi5.

2. According to tests, the speed of wifi6 is 3 times faster than that of wifi5, and the delay time is also lower.

3. But the network is dual, not only related to the equipment that sends data signals, but also related to the equipment that transmits data signals.

4. Especially today's mobile phones, most of them are only capable of 2 wireless antennas, while WiFi 6 can support 8 wireless antennas.

5. This means that even though the theoretical speed of WiFi 6 is faster, due to the limitations of the equipment, the improvement in daily use will not be much greater than that of WiFi 5.

6. However, the penetration rate of WiFi 6 wireless routers will be higher. Therefore, when the total area of ​​our house is very large, the WiFi 6 network speed will be faster if we avoid the location of the wireless router.

The above is a detailed explanation of the difference in network speed between wifi5 and wifi6. If our equipment specifications are sufficient, then the network speed of wifi6 will be much faster than wifi5.
