802.11ac and 802.11ax are different wireless (WiFi) technology standards that are present in WiFi routers or gateways.  WiFi and Internet capabilities are constantly evolving. Up until 2019, the most common wireless standard called for 802.11ac, also referred to as WiFi 5. However, in late 2019, 802.11ax (also known as WiFi 6) was launched, providing enhanced capabilities over its predecessor. These two WiFi standards are important to understand because they determine what devices you will need for your home network, which features they support, and the overall performance of your WiFi.

 

What is 802.11ac (WiFi 5)?

802.11ac is the 5th generation in WiFi standards and was introduced around 2013.  802.11ac is commonly referred to as WiFi 5 and was developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance to achieve gigabit speeds, meaning WiFi 5 could provide speeds up to 3.5 Gbps under optimal conditions.  In addition to faster speeds, WiFi 5 offered wider WiFi frequency channels that allowed wireless devices to send and receive more data, resulting in faster overall performance.  WiFi 5 (802.11ac) also introduced MU-MIMO technology that facilitated data to be sent to multiple devices simultaneously.   Most notably, WiFi 5 was developed to only use the 5GHz wireless frequency, rather than both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies.

 

What is 802.11ax (WiFi 6)?

802.11ax, or WiFi 6, is the latest WiFi standard and is the highest performing.  WiFi 6 is capable of speeds up to 9.6 Gbps which means its faster than WiFi 5, making it better for video streaming, online gaming and more high-bandwidth applications.  WiFi 6 offers more efficient data management for faster speeds and supports both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies for faster Internet across both frequency channels.  A new feature called Targeted Wake Time (TWT)” allows your router to put the WiFi connection to sleep” when not in use, saving the battery life of your smartphones, laptops and other connected devices until they are needed.  WiFi 6 has the power to higher number of connected devices and deliver more data to those devices, meaning you will have a much faster and more efficient Internet connection to all devices.
