Thank you for the question. Wi-Fi 6E devices will be backward compatible with Wi-Fi 6 and earlier Wi-Fi standards, but in order to use the new 6GHz channels, you'll need a Wi-Fi 6E router and a Wi-Fi 6E client device (meaning computers, phones, smart home devices, and other gadgets that support Wi-Fi 6E). The 2.4 GHz band provides the most coverage (150 feet indoors and about 300 feet outdoors) but transmits data at slower speeds. The 5 GHz band provides less coverage (about 30 feet) but transmits data at faster speeds. The 6 GHz band, introduced with the new WiFi 6E standard, provides the least coverage but transmits data at the fastest speeds of the three frequencies.
