every new piece of tech on the pc market is trying to capture your attention from graphics cards with ever so slightly higher boost clocks to headset stands tricked out with RGB lighting oh so cool but one of the latest things you might want to actually pay attention to is wi-fi 6 also known as 802.11 ax which our friends at Intel asked us to talk about today now we've already done a video explaining wi-fi 6 more generally which you can check out right up there but today we're going to specifically talk about how it can benefit gamers who don't want to be tethered down by an Ethernet connection figuratively and literally speed is one of the most obvious improvements of wi-fi 6 over previous generations of wi-fi the theoretical max bandwidth of a typical 2x2 connection is 2.4 gigabits per second which is about three times as fast as the previous generation however real world speeds won't be that high somewhere around one and a half gigabits per second might be more

to download large games but also how wi-fi 6 handles having multiple devices on the same network at once as well as improvements to latency and responsiveness it's like wi-fi took caffeine pills you see wi-fi 6 supports an updated version of a feature called moomimo and no it's not a pokemon although it may not seem like it a router without moomimo can only communicate with one device at a time meaning all the other devices on your network have to wait their turn and while it isn't exactly a long wait it can still make a difference especially if that device's parents didn't teach it to be patient moomimo gets rid of this bottleneck by allowing your router to communicate with multiple devices at once and with wi-fi six up to eight devices on a network can take advantage of this capability up from the four devices supported by wave 2 versions of wi-fi 5 and its cousin wi-fi 555 and because wi-fi 6 will support upstream and downstream data transfer simultaneously on all eight devices laggy game behavior caused by your pc having to wait for a slice of upstream time should be reduced especially if someone else on your network is engaged in some kind of bandwidth heavy activity like uploading every video they've taken of their cat because there aren't enough cat videos on the internet karen another helpful feature is called ofdma and although that's a mouthful the way it works is actually really cool and totally legal do you know do you know how your Wi-Fi network lives on a single channel well what odfma does is instead of just using the whole channel to talk to just one device it divvies up the channel into smaller sub channels so that data can be transferred to multiple devices at one time the way the channels are chopped up depends on the needs of each device so if you're gaming pieces of data that need to be sent to or from your pc quickly to prevent lagginess can be prioritized over another user whose workload isn't as latency dependent such as a

without an expensive rig or console unfortunately wi-fi 6 will likely require you to buy new devices both a router and a wireless adapter or motherboard that support the new protocol however if you're
