Cisco – What Is Wi-Fi 6 vs. Wi-Fi 6E?

"Wi-Fi 6 is backward-compatible with earlier Wi-Fi standards but Wi-Fi 6E is not.


Yet Wi-Fi 6E’s support of only Wi-Fi 6E devices, which are becoming more widely available as of this writing, is a key way that the new extension creates a fast lane. The relatively low levels of congestion and interference in the 6-GHz band help to optimize performance."
