Have you been asking; “what is WiFi 6?” Well, you aren’t alone.

Benefits of upgrading to WiFi 6
WiFi 6 does the same job as WiFi 5 also known as 802.11ax. However, it does it better. You will benefit from an increase in speed from 3.5 Gbps with WiFi 5 to 9.6 Gbps with WiFi 6. Then, with improved battery life for your devices and far less bandwidth congestion, WiFi 6 improves on WiFi 5 even further.
When you upgrade to WiFi 6, you will enjoy the benefit of better battery life for your devices. WiFi 6 allows your devices to plan their communication with the router in advance. This lowers the amount of time your antenna has to be powered, which ultimately leads to less strain on the battery of your device.
You will also enjoy enhanced internet security when you upgrade your network to WiFi 6. All WiFi 6 devices come with the latest WPA3 security protocols built into them. This ensures that your WiFi 6 connection is protected from hackers and thieves who might be looking to exploit your wireless internet connection. However, The Wifi Specialist can also install ethernet cable wiring to transmit your WiFi 6 signals with maximum security.

To upgrade to WiFi 6 you will need a compatible router. You will also need to ensure all your devices are capable of running at WiFi 6 speeds. As a result, upgrading to WiFi 6 can be costly and is only recommended to those who truly need it. However, if you have the required technology, upgrading to WiFi 6 has many benefits.
If you are only connecting a small number of devices to your network, WiFi 5 will probably be robust enough for your needs. A single WiFi 6 device that is connected to WiFi 6 will not be much faster than a single WiFi 5 device on a WiFi 5 network. However, WiFi 6 can spread i’s 9.6 Gbps speed between several devices, allowing each one access to higher speeds.
Because of this, you should only upgrade to WiFi 6 if you have many modern devices connected to your network at once. This makes WiFi 6 an excellent choice for businesses that are powered by the capabilities of their internet connection.

Our Happy Clients
I was struggling to get a decent wifi signal down to the garden office until the Wifi Specialists recommended a Point to Point kit. Now the internet is faster in the office than it is in the house. The guys did a great job installing too, keeping all the cabling very neat and hidden wherever possible. Even sorted out the TV aerial cable while they were doing the P2P cabling! Great service, strongly recommend.
Richard G
Couldn't recommend Indy more highly. They helped us implement an effective corporate wifi solution at very short notice. Communication throughout was excellent and we look forward to working with them again.
Francesca M
Indy and Rakki are first class guys, they did a professional job in record time and I ended up with a better router indoors as well as the Access point outdoors which now covers the whole garden. Definitely recommend the Wifi specialists.
John M
I'm absolute delighted with the service provided by The WiFi Specialist in running an ethernet cable out to my garden office. Indy was extremely helpful in discussion the options available to me, and recommending the right approach, and the work was carried out efficiently and with minimum disruption. I'm thrilled to now have a secure connection, and would definitely recommend The WiFi Specialist to anyone looking to improve connectivity.
Simon M
Excellent, knowledgeable, seamless experience with Indy and team. Not to mention my now perfect wifi!
Sarah K
I had been struggling with my wifi signal around my house for a number of years and the situation only got worse as we moved to remote working. After many attempts to get the issue addressed through the local ISP, I (my wife and kids) decided that I needed a specialist to come in. Indy made the whole process very simple from the initial site visit, design guidance and installation. I had my house refurbished a few years ago so adding new cabling around the house needed knowledge and experience. Indy and Rak did a great job at concealing the cat6 cables and provided a professional finish. I now have full wifi signal all around the house, garden and garage. I would highly recommend The Wi-Fi Specialist. Thank you.
Amarjit K
The IT service from this company was exemplary and resulted in a very good WiFi signal throughout the house. Indy was generous with his time and explained the technology well, without trying to sell equipment that would have been unnecessary for a domestic installation. He is friendly, knowledgeable and very professional. It was a great pleasure to work with him.
