In a previous article, I was writing about what Wi-Fi means and I showed what are the advantages of a router with the 802.11ax standard. From this article you will find out what advantages the Wi-Fi 6E offers, extension of the Wi-Fi standard (802.11Ax).

As mentioned in that article, Wi-Fi 6 uses all 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, as well as the old Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) standard. The big differentiator between the two standards is the division of a wireless frequency channel into several dedicated channels using the Frequency-Division Orthogonal Technique Multiple Access (ofdma), which means that each user connected with a Wi-Fi 6 compatible device will benefit from a dedicated tape width, thus avoiding the network congestion.
Many users confusion between the version name of the standard and wireless tape width. Wi-Fi 6 uses 2.4 GHz free strips and 5 GHz, while the 6 GHz band license is still waiting. This frequency is currently regulated, and until the US Federal Communications Commission will not agree to be freely used globally, this will not happen. At the moment, there is no market router capable of supporting the 6 GHz band. Wi-Fi Alliance (the organization that manages and develops Wi-Fi) says that the Wi-Fi 6 routers will be able to support the 6 GHz spectrum will be noted with the Wi-Fi 6E standard.
Update 2024:
In the United States, the 6 GHz band is regulated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The FCC has approved the use of the 6 GHz band for Wi-Fi without license in 2020. This means that any Wi-Fi device that meets the FCC standards can use the 6 GHz tape without having to obtain a license from the FCC.
In Europe, the 6 GHz band is regulated by the European Commission. The European Commission has approved the use of the 6 GHz band for Wi-Fi without license in 2021. This means that any Wi-Fi device that meets the European Commission standards can use the 6 GHz band without having to obtain a license from the European Commission.
In Romania, the 6 GHz band is regulated by the National Authority for Administration and Regulation in Communications (ANCOM). ANCOM has approved the use of the 6 GHz band for Wi-Fi without license in 2022. This means that any Wi-Fi device that meets ANCOM can use the 6 GHz tape without having to obtain an ANCOM license.
– final update.

What advantages Wi-Fi 6E offers, 6 GHz 802.11Ax tape
On the 6 GHz spectrum there is sufficient bandwidth for 7 channels of 160 MHz and 14 channels of 40 MHz. In addition to the ability to support a number larger by users simultaneously in very crowded spaces, this broader spectrum increases performance for applications that use a large bandwidth, such as those of high quality live video transmissions and Applications of virtual reality and Augmented reality.
Wi-Fi 6E can reach speeds up to 9.6 Gbps, compared to 9.6 Gbps for Wi-Fi 6, and can support more users simultaneously. Also, Wi-Fi 6E offers lower latency, which is important for applications that require a quick reaction, such as online games. This is due to the fact that the 6 GHz band is less congested than the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.
Benefits that Wi-Fi can offer 6e
Wi-Fi 6E is ideal for applications that require a large bandwidth and low latency. Supports streaming video at 8K resolutions, virtual and augmented reality, online games with advanced graphics and video conferences. Everything with speeds up to 9.6 Gbps and low latency, ideal for applications that require a quick reaction or online games.
