What Is Wi-Fi & How Does It Work?

Wi-Fi, short for Wireless Fidelity, is a technology that allows devices to connect to the internet or communicate with each other wirelessly. It operates on the IEEE 802.11 family of standards, using radio waves to transmit data between devices within a specific range.

Wi-Fi offers convenience, accessibility, and scalability, making it ideal for both home and business use. However, it also poses security risks, so it’s important to use strong passwords and encryption to protect your Wi-Fi network.

Wi-Fi 6 & Wi-Fi 6E

Wi-Fi 6E is an extension of Wi-Fi 6, the latest generation of Wi-Fi technology. The “E” in Wi-Fi 6E stands for “extended,” referring to the extension of available frequencies for Wi-Fi signals. Wi-Fi 6E operates in the 6 GHz frequency band, which was previously reserved for other uses.

By utilising this additional spectrum, Wi-Fi 6E offers several advantages over previous Wi-Fi generations, including faster speeds, reduced congestion, and improved performance in high-density environments. This new spectrum provides more channels and wider bandwidth, allowing for increased capacity and less interference, ultimately leading to a better Wi-Fi experience for users.
