The first and most important feature of this new standard is that it is designed to work in crowded radio environments today. It supports multi-user technology and MU-MIMO, which means that a particular access point can handle traffic from eight users at the same time and at the same speed.
Yes, Wi-Fi now has version numbers! Even those old standard Wi-Fi standard names like "802.11ac" have been renamed to easy-to-use names like "Wi-Fi 5."
Here are the versions of Wi-Fi you'll see:
Wi-Fi 4 is 802.11n, released in 2009.
Wi-Fi 5 is the 802.11ac, released in 2014.
Wi-Fi 6 is the new version, also known as 802.11ax. Scheduled for launch in 2019.
Wi-Fi wants to see these numbers appear in the program so you can see which Wi-Fi network is newer and faster while you're connected to your smartphone, tablet, or laptop. You may see Wi-Fi numbers on your phone, tablet, or laptop soon.
Higher data transfer speeds

Higher data transfer speeds
As always, the latest Wi-Fi standard offers faster data transfer speeds. If you're using a Wi-Fi router with one device, the maximum possible speeds must be 40% higher with Wi-Fi 6 than a Wi-Fi 5 network.
Wi-Fi 6 achieves this by efficiently coding data, resulting in higher productivity. This new standard increases the speeds of 2.4GHz networks. While the industry has switched to a 5GHz Wi-Fi network for less interference, the 2.4 GHz is still better at penetrating solid objects. There should be no interference on 2.4 GHz as the prevalence of older wireless phones declines.
Longer battery life
The new TWT feature in Wi-Fi 6 means that your smartphone, laptop and other devices that support Wi-Fi 6 will have a longer battery life. This will be done by better communication between the device and the router or Wi-Fi, as the router will make the device The radio will not be picked up when it is not needed. Once the device needs to pick up the Internet, the command will be sent from the router to the device, ie the device will be connected to Wi-Fi normally but does not receive or send waves all the time.
This will also help you use low-power Internet objects that connect over a Wi-Fi network.
Better performance in crowded areas
When you are in a busy place with lots of Wi-Fi enabled devices you will notice that there is a heavy dummy in the Internet connection or even the router. Photos of a busy stadium, airport, hotel, business center, or even a crowded office where everyone is connected to a Wi-Fi network. You may have a slow Wi-Fi connection.
The new Wi-Fi 6 technology, also known as the 802.11ax, includes many new technologies to help. Through Wi-Fi 6, each user's speed will be improved at a rate of "at least four times" in busy areas with lots of connected devices. Wi-Fi 6 can now split a wireless channel into a large number of sub-channels. Each of these sub-channels can load data for a different device. This is achieved through something called orthogonal frequency division or OFDMA. The Wi-Fi access point can connect to more devices at a time.

The new Riderless standard has also improved MIMO - Multiple In / Multiple Out. This includes multiple antennas, which allow the access point to connect to multiple devices simultaneously. With Wi-Fi 5, the access point can talk to devices at the same time, but these devices can not respond at the same time. Wi-Fi version 6 contains an enhanced version of multiple users or MU-MIMO that allows devices to respond to a wireless access point at the same time.
This will not only apply to crowded public places. It can apply to you at home if you have a lot of devices connected to a Wi-Fi network, or if you live in a dense residential complex.
