23 Qorvo 2020 regularly, depending on where you want them to have coverage." Some providers have implemented proprietary fixes for this, so that it would be possible to cover all the different network IDs under one overall network ID, but this was only possible if you buy products from the same supplier. With Wi-Fi 6 technology, this concept has been standardized across vendors and all the different networks can be automatically integrated into one network. If you have more than one repeater, you won't have to know each network ID. Because they'll be part of the same network infrastructure, you'll be able to roam over different frequencies with products from different suppliers on one Wi-Fi network. "Eventually with Wi-Fi 6, besides the increase in data rates, but there's all kinds of engineering and technology prowess at work," Cees says. "And if you ask me what the big difference with Wi-Fi 6 is going to be I think its going to be the convenience. With the lowered cost, you can call the repeater, you can call a satellite station, you can call whatever you want but now its just the same network. Once it's installed as part of your network you don't have to add in another network ID or have another password in mind. Convenience will be the major difference with Wi-Fi 6" 'Wi-Fi 6 could become the backbone for all indoor connectivity' Wi-Fi empowers the smart home, but not all routers and modems are created equal. Without updating the equipment, your home Wi-Fi could struggle to keep up with the data strain. New equipment can handle the bandwidth of connected devices and the increase in internet speed. Another update to keep in mind is that the internet service provider (ISP) needs to be updated with the fastest speed plan available for your home. A relatively new technology is expanding the reach of Wi-Fi throughout a home. Wi-Fi mesh systems boost the Wi-Fi signal series of satellite modules or nodes placed around the home. The nodes are convenient because they share the same SSID, there is not another network ID that has to be set up. "Let's say one (hot) spot per room for all your large rooms and each spot in every room has a Wi-Fi mesh connection. Maybe we will find out so with the Wi-Fi mesh will become the backbone (of indoor connectivity)," Cees says. With several nodes throughout your home, it would be easy to have a strong consistent speedy Wi-Fi signal, enough for all the smart lights and switches. Wi-Fi 6 means faster internet across several devices on one network; making it easier to work and learn at home. Wi-Fi is one of the most used widely used technologies today. The next generation Wi-Fi 6 could make it easier for multiple people in a household to hold higher quality work video calls, or a teacher to better engage with more students through distance learning.
