While Wi-Fi 6 operates in the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, <strong>Wi-Fi 6E adds a third band, the 6GHz band<\/strong>. This new band offers greater bandwidth, resulting in faster speeds, lower latency, and reduced signal interference. To get the most out of Wi-Fi 6E, it&#8217;s essential to have a compatible device and a Wi-Fi 6E router.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed-Youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"You Think That&#039;s Hard Work? | Mac | Apple\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/edpJev-jyx4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The implementation of <strong>Wi-Fi 6E in Apple devices<\/strong>, such as the 2023 iMac, the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro also from 2023, the 2023 Mac mini, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/macbook-air-15-mac-studio-wwdc23\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">the 2023 Mac Studio<\/a>, the 2023 Mac Pro, the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, the 4th generation 11-inch iPad Pro, and the 6th generation 12.9-inch iPad Pro, represents a qualitative leap in terms of network performance. These devices can handle more simultaneous connections without a decrease in performance, which is ideal in environments with many connected devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To use a Wi-Fi 6E network with an Apple device, it&#8217;s necessary <strong>to have a Wi-Fi 6E router<\/strong> that also has its 2.4GHz or 5GHz bands enabled. Apple recommends using a unique network name for the 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands of the router for optimal performance. This is something that can be modified in the router&#8217;s configuration settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the wireless signal becomes faster, its range is reduced due to physical limitations. This might require more strategic placement of routers or the use of range extenders. Generally, <strong>for a house around 100m\u00b2, a couple of well-placed routers should suffice<\/strong> to cover the entire space. It&#8217;s worth noting that 2.4 networks still exist in Wi-Fi 6E, so devices farther from routers\u2014such as some HomeKit devices in the garden, for example\u2014might still connect at a lower speed.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Apple Support\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-m\/p\/952ecafe-c8f3-11e6-99be-00163ed833e7\/3724861761\/apple-support-logo\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Apple Support<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/apple-support.en.softonic.com\/iphone\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/apple-support.en.softonic.com\/iphone\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Absolutely, the arrival of Wi-Fi 6E to Apple devices is a substantial improvement.
