While you’ve probably heard a lot about the new Wi-Fi 6 standard, more technically known as 802.11ax, this is still a leading-edge technology that likely isn’t even supported by most of the devices on your network. While purchasing a Wi-Fi 6 router may be a good investment for the future, you won’t gain any advantage from it until you have Wi-Fi 6 client devices. Since Wi-Fi 6 is backward-compatible however, you'll still get great performance from a Wi-Fi 5 router.
