Wifi 6E is Triband series of router based on 802.11XE standard of Wifi. It uses one additional 6-GHZ band for extra low latency and high data throughput. Its best used for gaming and for wireless Mesh capability.
Currently very limited Wifi-6E routers model are available in India. We expect many more to launch in 2023. Still we have selected few best out of them with best performance in long run.

A Wi-Fi 6E router refers to a wireless router that supports the Wi-Fi 6E standard. Wi-Fi 6E is an extension of the Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) standard and operates in the 6 GHz frequency band. The “E” in Wi-Fi 6E stands for “Extended” because it adds an additional frequency band to the existing 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands used by Wi-Fi 6.
Here are some key features and benefits of Wi-Fi 6E routers:
- Increased bandwidth: Wi-Fi 6E routers leverage the 6 GHz band, which provides a significant amount of additional spectrum. This additional bandwidth allows for higher data transfer speeds and improved network performance, especially in crowded environments with many connected devices.
- Reduced interference: By utilizing the less congested 6 GHz frequency band, Wi-Fi 6E routers can offer a cleaner wireless signal with less interference from neighboring Wi-Fi networks and other devices.
- Lower latency: Wi-Fi 6E routers feature improved latency compared to previous generations. This is particularly beneficial for applications that require real-time responsiveness, such as online gaming, video conferencing, and streaming.
- Increased capacity: With Wi-Fi 6E, routers can support a larger number of simultaneous connections and devices without experiencing performance degradation. This is especially useful in households or offices with numerous smart devices, IoT devices, and high-bandwidth applications.
- Backward compatibility: Wi-Fi 6E routers are designed to be backward compatible with older Wi-Fi standards, such as Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) and Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n). This ensures that devices using older Wi-Fi standards can still connect and communicate with the router, although they won’t experience the benefits of Wi-Fi 6E.

It’s worth noting that while Wi-Fi 6E routers offer improved performance and capabilities, they are only beneficial if your devices also support the Wi-Fi 6E standard. Therefore, to take full advantage of a Wi-Fi 6E router, you’ll need compatible devices that support Wi-Fi 6E.
Basically Wifi 6E = Wifi 6 + 6 Ghz band
So only wifi 6E clients can see 6ghz band of wifi 6E routers. Wifi 6E is best for closed neighborhood areas where too much congestion can be seen on 2.4ghz and 5ghz bands. Other best scenario of Wifi 6E usage is for mesh routers with wifi backhaul here 6ghz band(or 5ghz) whole band can be completely dedicated to backhaul while devices work on 2.4ghz+5ghz band for client communications.
Q: Is it worth getting a WiFi 6E router? A: Well if you are upgrading from single band or dual band AC router then yes worth the additional 6ghz band but you need to have wifi 6e clients to enjoy 6ghz band
Q:What is the fastest WiFi 6E router? A: TP-Link Archer AXE300 AX11000 with 15.6 Gbps( 6GHz, 4804 Mbps; 5GHz-1, 4804 Mbps; 5GHz-2, 4804 Mbps; 2.4GHz, 1148 Mbps)* speed is fastest till date of this post.
Q: Is 6E better than 6 Wi-Fi? A: Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E are both wireless networking standards that use the 802.11ax protocol to provide faster speeds and better performance than previous generations of Wi-Fi. The main difference between the two is that Wi-Fi 6E allows for operation in the 6GHz frequency band, which is wider and less congested than the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands used by Wi-Fi 6. This allows for faster speeds and lower latency in environments with a lot of Wi-Fi traffic. Additionally, Wi-Fi 6E also has a larger channel bandwidth which can help with high-bandwidth applications such as streaming video in 4K.
Q: What router supports WiFi 6E? A: I think we already listed all the new models of Wifi 6E routers here.

Currently only few models of Wifi 6E router are available where one is standalone router while other is a mesh router formation. We expect Wifi 6E router from Asus and Netgear to launch hopefully soon.
Wifi 6e doesn’t offer speed efficiency. It only opens up a new frequency spectrum (6 GHz) with lots more channels than 2.4 or 5 bringing up effective throughput. So unless you have lots of channel contention in your home it’s not necessarily the improvement unless the wifi 6e router costs almost similar to a WiFI 6 router.
Speed improvements come with WiFi 6 and there are lots of improvements in the technology. 6e gets the same improvements with added benefits of the new spectrum.
So you can look for best Wifi 6 routers also which are more than enough for 90% of Indian home.
