Am about to move houses and new place will have 1000/1000 speeds. Wondering if I should get a Wifi 6 router or not, is it worth the upgrade? Can Wifi 5 and 6 equipment be combined? Or will it then all be ‘downgraded’ to Wifi 5?
Usecase: At home - with 8 or so devices.
Anyway, let me know your experiences with WiFi 6 and wether I should aim to get it.
Imo I would go for 6E just because of the new frequency band. WiFi backwards compatibility is on a per device basis, so a few older devices won’t “downgrade” the speed of your newer ones.
Also, max theoretical throughout for wifi 6 is 9.6Gbps, which your connection would struggle to saturate even in derated “real-world” conditions
