When was WiFi 6E released?

Welcome to Blackview (A famous brand of rugged tablet and smartphone) blog.

Short answer: Wi-Fi 6E was released in 2020, just a year after the introduction of Wi-Fi 6, which is also based on the IEEE 802.11ax standard. However, it was not until 2021 that the first Wi-Fi 6E routers and devices became available for purchase.

Wi-Fi 6E uses the 6GHz band, which is a new frequency band that was previously not available for Wi-Fi use - It was recently made available for unlicensed use by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). This band offers more bandwidth than the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, which means that Wi-Fi 6E can support faster speeds and more smart devices. And this is one of the main differences between WiFi 6E and WiFi 6.

Wi-Fi 6E is still in its early stages of adoption, but it is expected to become more widespread in the coming years. As more devices (like smartphones and tablets) and routers support Wi-Fi 6E, the benefits of this new standard will become more apparent.

Here are some of the benefits of Wi-Fi 6E:

• Faster speeds: Wi-Fi 6E can support speeds of up to 9.6Gbps, which is twice as fast as Wi-Fi 5.
• More capacity: Wi-Fi 6E can support more devices on the same network than Wi-Fi 6.
• Better range: Wi-Fi 6E can provide better range, especially in crowded areas.
• Lower latency: Wi-Fi 6E can offer lower latency, which is important for applications like gaming and video streaming.

If you are looking for the fastest and most reliable Wi-Fi experience, then Wi-Fi 6E is the best option. However, it is important to note that Wi-Fi 6E devices and routers are still relatively expensive, so you may want to wait until the prices come down before making the switch.
