Like all the previous wireless standards, the goal with this one is to makeWi-Fifaster and more reliable.
The video streams just fine for a minute or two and then stops, over and over.
This works because Wi-Fi 6 routers can better communicate with more than one machine at a time.
A similar Wi-Fi 6 feature that alleviates web connection congestion is calledorthogonal frequency division multiple access(OFDMA).
This lets one transmission from the router deliver data to more than one gadget along its route.
BSS (base service station) coloring is another performance booster for Wi-Fi 6 networks.
Should You Get a Wi-Fi 6 Router?
