What are the types of Wi-Fi?
What are the types of Wi-Fi?
There have been 6 iterations of Wi-Fi, with Wi-Fi 6 being the latest. They used to be classified by a number and letter system, where variations of “802.11 ax” denoted the iteration. This was simplified to be more in line with the numbering system of mobile services (3G, 4G, and 5G) to improve public understanding of the technology.
