The upcoming iPhone 13 series will offer new features related to the camera, display and software. It is also expected to offer better battery life along with improved performance. With these, Apple is also said to offer support for the latest WiFi 6E standard that was announced in January last year. WiFi 6E support is already starting to appear in some smartphones, laptops and is expected to be available on all devices soon. Here's everything you need to know about WiFi 6E.

What is WiFi 6E and how is it different from WiFi 6

When it comes to WiFi, you are already familiar with two WiFi bands-- 2.4GHz and 5GHz. With 2.4GHz, the range of WiFi gets increased while 5GHz offers more data speeds. Now, there is a third band: 6GHz, with the introduction of WiFi 6E. The new standard is simply WiFi 6 technology in the 6GHz spectrum.

What is the need for WiFi 6E

With WiFi 6E, you can expect faster data speeds but what's more important is that your WiFi network (on WiFi 6E) will be free of any congestion and you will not see WiFi connectivity dropping on your device.

How does WiFi 6E solve the problem of network congestion

The new WiFi 6E standard in 6 GHz addresses Wi-Fi spectrum shortage by providing contiguous spectrum blocks to include 14 additional 80 MHz channels and 7 additional 160 MHz channels. This is needed for high-bandwidth applications that require faster data throughput such as high-definition video streaming and virtual reality. "Wi-Fi 6E devices will leverage wider channels and additional capacity to deliver greater network performance and support more Wi-Fi users at once, even in very dense and congested environments," explained the Wi-Fi Alliance.

Will WiFi 6E offer faster WiFi internet speeds

If you go by the specifications, the top speed of WiFi at 5GHz and 6GHz is the same-- 9.6Gbps. That's the maximum speed that can be achieved by the current WiFi 6 standard. In reality, commercial internet service providers won't be able to deliver such speeds. But speed isn't the problem with 5GHz WiFi, the real issue is spectrum availability and with 6GHz (WiFi 6E), there will be four times more bandwidth, ultimately helping smartphones get higher speed internet.

What do you need to get WiFi 6E connectivity

To get WiFi 6E, you would need to get a new router that supports it and will be able broadcast connectivity at 6GHz. If you are using fiber broadband internet services at your home then you will have to wait for the operator-- JioFiber, Airtel Xstream, ACT or others-- to provide WiFI 6E supported routers to use the new technology.

How to connect to WiFi 6E networks

With all modern dual-band routers, you get to choose to connect 2.4GHz and 5GHz WiFi networks, with WiFi 6E routers, you will get three options-- 2.4GHz, 5GHz and 6GHz. If you choose 6GHz, you can expect a more reliable connection as most of your neighbours and surrounding WiFi networks will be using the congested 2.4GHz or 5GHz networks.
