What’s Wi-Fi 6E
Wi-Fi 6E expands on the existing Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) standard and adds support for 6GHz wireless
spectrum. It comes with 7 160MHz channels to approach better experience and speed.

Connecting to the 6GHz frequency can bring more outstanding bandwidth, Wi-Fi 6E will
revolutionize the Wi-Fi user experience by enabling faster wireless speed, lower latency, and higher
capacity than previous generations. It also can be used for AR/VR or 8K streaming.
Wi-Fi 6E works with the same standard as Wi-Fi 6 but with an extended spectrum. The 6GHz range is
the new frequency band from 5.925GHz to 7.125GHz, which can provide up to 1200MHz.
High capacity
More capacity in the 6GHz band to minimized congestion and
connection issue. The 6GHz spectrum is occupied only by efficient
Wi-Fi 6 connections, and wouldn’t overlap with each other, greatly
reducing network congestion
Increase capacity with more spectrum
To meet the needs of increasing Wi-Fi usage, Wi-Fi 6E networks
will provide expanded capacity by operating on the 6GHz band
with 14 additional 80MHz channels and 7 additional 160MHz
channels.
Wider channels for faster speeds
Support for high speed 160MHz channels for multi-gigabit per
second speed with superb stability and consistent experiences,
especially for high-definition video and virtual reality.
Extremely low Latency
The 6GHz spectrum occupied only by efficient Wi-Fi 6 traffic, it was be designed to deliver significant reductions in latency, increasing responsiveness for latency sensitive applications.
Without interference from microwaves:
