Wi-Fi 6E, an extension of the Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax) wireless standard, introduces an important innovation by making use of the 6 GHz frequency band, in addition to the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands that were previously used. This new band offers more free channels, enabling faster and more stable connections that are less prone to interference, particularly in densely populated areas with numerous WLANs.

The 6 GHz band enables Wi-Fi 6E to deliver even higher speeds, lower latency and better performance when many devices are active simultaneously. Wi-Fi 6E offers significant benefits, particularly for contemporary applications such as high-resolution streaming, online gaming and virtual reality.

However, both the router and the end devices must support Wi-Fi 6E for this to be possible. The use of the 6 GHz band has now been approved in Germany and many other countries, making Wi-Fi 6E increasingly important.
