Support Total Home Wi-Fi Basics What is Wi-Fi 6?

Wi-Fi 6 (otherwise known as 802.11ax) is the latest generation of Wi-Fi, but it’s much more than just a faster top speed. Wi-Fi 6 includes some new features that eliminate the issues that come with putting multiple connected devices on the same network. You get faster speeds, better battery life and less bandwidth congestion than with older technologies.

This means, your devices are more likely to maintain fast speeds, even on busy networks. Our Mesh Wi-Fi 6 router brings these technologies together so you can get online without interruptions or slowdowns.
