iPad Pro No WiFi 6e, No 6Ghz Band,

[TheRealAlex]

I’ve upgraded almost everything in my home to WiFI 6. And my newest piece of tech the XDR iPad Pro isn’t up to date With WiFi 6e or the 6Ghz band.

What's the problem here?

So you upgraded all your equipment to Wi-Fi 6, not Wi-Fi 6e but just 6, and you're complaining that your new iPad won't have 6e? Am I missing something here?

I'm still on 'Wi-Fi 5' so I couldn't care less.

I'm wondering the benefits of the 6ghz band when 5-10 feet away and wall penetration.

Sell everything. Sky is falling once again.

OP again.

Good for mesh systems, great for mesh system sellers as more nodes will be needed.

My room's practically a Faraday cage so I use gigabit backhaul.

Why do I get the feeling we're dealing with a 15 yr old, haha.

So wait until a 6e iPad comes out, and then buy it. Easy, problem solved.

The main point of the 6ghz band is to avoid the interference from other devices. In a big apartment building, for example, you could have tons of devices trying to use the same frequencies you are, especially if you want to use the 160hz bandwidth that Wifi 6 allows for maximum speed. Without 6E, you only have one 160hz channel that can be used, but with 6E, you get like 9 of them, or 18 80hz channels at half bandwidth. It gets especially bad if you live within a few miles of an airport (like me), the single 160hz channel of plain Wifi 6 is shared with weather and military radars, and if the device detects a real radar using the frequencies, it immediately disconnects.

Your usage will not be impacted in any way from the lack of WiFi 6e on the iPad Pro. In fact, even if the new iPad had the feature, you still wouldn't notice any real difference in daily usage. The only thing you are missing is being able to run Ookla Speedtests to post on the forum.

Not much in tech is up to date with WiFi 6e yet.

WiFi 6 != WiFi 6e
