Netgear has announced its all new availability of four new that support the latest and fastest Wi-Fi networking standard Wi-Fi 6, that would be 802.11ax.

This new standard in wireless connectivity offers a huge performance leap for applications like video streaming, gaming, smart home automation and video chatting. Not only does Wi-Fi 6 give you faster wireless experiences — with up to 40% higher peak data rates for a single client device — it is also much more responsive and does a better job handling a growing number of devices, all of which are simultaneously competing for bandwidth. This means that as you connect more devices in your home, like upcoming PCs with Intel Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+), you can be confident that your network performance can keep up.

Wi-Fi 6 - the latest generation of Wi-Fi -- delivers up to four times better performance than Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) using innovative technologies such as Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple-Access (OFDMA) to help maximise the capability to connect multiple devices at the same time, which will help reduce the congestion for the typical bandwidth-starved connected home. Wi-Fi 6 will provide a huge boost in total network capacity and reliability, ushering in a new era of speed, performance and capacity for wireless networking in today's homes. The actual quality of the connection for each Wi-Fi device will also be improved by reducing the interference between them, thus ensuring that the experience of lag or buffering is reduced during online gameplay or streaming Ultra HD 8K/4K. 

With the introduction, earlier this year, of new smart phones and laptops that have embraced Wi-Fi 6 and with widespread industry support, it is expected that the transition to Wi-Fi 6 will be adopted much more quickly than previous iterations of the wireless networking technology. As the year progresses into 2020 and beyond, the market will continue to see many more devices introduced that support Wi-Fi 6. Additionally, given that Wi-Fi 6 works on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz band and is 100% compatible with previous generations of Wi-Fi, upgrading to a Wi-Fi 6 router now will ensure that your network is set for years to come.
