Also, one needs at least 1 Giga-bit internet speed otherwise, internet connection itself can be a bottleneck. Reference: Materials & Methods Home Setupįor Wi-Fi 6 internet speed test, the minimum requirements to conduct it, one must own Wifi 6 capable router and client device because you need both of these to have WiFi 6 communication. If you’re using a Wi-Fi router with a single device, maximum potential speeds should be up to 40% higher with Wi-Fi 6 compared to Wi-Fi 5. So today, I have actually tested to see if this claim is true by using Asus flagship WiFi 6 router, Ax11000 and iPhone 11 Pro. So comparing between Intel AC (Wifi 5) speed and Intel 2 x 2 WiFi-6 speed (1700/1200 = 1.42), they are really claiming maximum speed gain of 40% for single device. This is because Intel AC 2×2 is already 2x faster than that. The first and foremost, let’s ignore marketing talk where it says 3x faster compared to standard AC 2×2. So let’s take a look at what Intel says about Wi-Fi 6. The real benefit from Wi-Fi 5 to Wi-Fi 6 is for multiple simultaneously connected devices. In fact, you may potentially be disappointed if this is your one and only reason of upgrading WiFi 5 system to WiFi 6. Although it is true that Wi-Fi 6 standard will also have increased single device throughput, this is not the primary emphasis. Previous generation of Wi-Fi evolution were indeed primarily focusing on this. Now faster speed can mean different things, but most people will consider the speed or performance as one device that is being used can transfer more data in a given amount of time, which is single device throughput. So 5 now becomes 6 therefore, we should be getting faster speed. The newer protocol, 802.11ax, is called Wi-Fi 6. The most prevalent Wi-Fi technology released back in 2014 is 802.11ac, which is now named Wi-Fi 5. This coding system has now changed to simple and intuitive numbering system.
In the past, Wi-Fi versions were named using technical coding like 802.11ac. Today, I have compared how fast the Wi-Fi 6 is or should be when compared to Wi-Fi 5 using internet speed test.
#Ipad internet speed test upgrade#
BackgroundĪre you planning to upgrade home network and looking for new router or mesh network system? Have you just got a new router, increased speed from internet provider? May be you’ve already come across some tests online using iPerf, but you want to see more familiar speed test comparison. How much is WiFi 6 faster? Is it worth the price right now? In this first of the series, I have compared internet speed test result of iPhone 11 Pro, Wifi 6 client, and couple Wifi 5 client devices using Asus GT-AX11000 Wifi 6 router.
