80211axWiFi
802.11ax, commercially marketed as Wi-Fi 6, is a wireless local area network standard in the IEEE 802.11 family. Published in 2019, it succeeds 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5) and is designed to improve efficiency, capacity, and performance in dense environments such as apartments, offices, and public venues.
Its core technologies include orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) to serve multiple users simultaneously, improved multi-user
802.11ax operates in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, with Wi-Fi 6E extending to the 6
It is designed to be backward compatible with existing 802.11 devices; legacy devices can connect to 802.11ax
A successor development path includes 802.11be (Wi-Fi 7), which aims to further increase speeds and efficiency
