So you thinking to upgrade your existing router to wifi 6? Well consider this one tip before you make a big splurge on a brand new fancy wifi 6 router with all sort of bells and whistles.
Check all the existing wifi devices in your house, if anyone of those devices work on 2.4ghz and 5ghz band then your latest wifi 6 router won’t be able to run on pure wifi 6 network to make it to work. Yes you read it right all the devices in your home need to be wifi-6 compatible to be able to reach wifi-6 speeds.
If anyone device in your home is not wifi-6 ready then without that your router will have to rollback to old wifi protocol of one AC 5ghz wifi network and one N wifi 2.4ghz network similar to current wifi-5 router setup you have.
If you are jumping from old single band router or non-working or bad router then it makes all the sense to upgrade to best wifi 6 router only. However if you making the upgrade purely to taste wifi 6 speeds while your existing AC dual band router is good enough for most of the tasks then better make sure the devices at your home are wifi-6 compatible.
