AiMesh routers: Wi-Fi 6 vs. Wi-Fi 5
I have tried many combos with routers of mixed standards. In this case, again, it's best to run network cables to link them. Generally, it's not a good idea to mix tri-band and dual-band routers or mix routers of different Wi-Fi standards (Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 5).
However, if that ends up to be your case, make sure you use the compatible Wi-Fi setting for the Wi-Fi 6 broadcaster when using it as the primary router.
So, in a mixed setup, chances are you won't be able to any of the broadcasters in the venerable 160 MHz channel width, which is required for it to deliver top Wi-Fi 6 speed.
In other words, if you mix Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 6 in a wireless setup, expect the entire system to be Wi-Fi 5. |
