Wi-Fi Wi-Fi is a technology that allows electronic devices to connect to a WLAN network, mainly using the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radio bands. Wi-Fi can apply to products that use any 802.11 standard. 6E capable access points can operate in the 6 GHz Gigahertz. radio band Band refers to a specified range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. in addition to 2.4 GHz Gigahertz. and 5 GHz Gigahertz. radio bands Band refers to a specified range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation.. The inclusion of 6 GHz Gigahertz. spectrum adds fourteen 80 MHz Megahertz channels and seven 160 MHz Megahertz channels for wireless services. Being a new radio spectrum there are less clients and more bandwidth space available for use in the 6 GHz Gigahertz. spectrum space. In addition to this, all 6 GHz Gigahertz. channels are non-overlapping channels and provide better wireless experience and services.

Points to Remember
