6Ghz WiFi 6E

[tkrsh]

When will govt release the 6Ghz band for wifi 6E/7. The 5Ghz band is getting congested what is the govt waiting for?


On the other hand COAI recently pushed for wifi6e router sale ban lmfao.... these profit-hungry corrupt troglodytes are ruining progress.

So with the recent news, when can I expect 6ghz band to open up

India delicenses lower 6 GHz frequency band for faster indoor Wi-Fi service

Jyotiraditya Scindia: The Indian government has delimited the lower 6 GHz band for Wi-Fi to boost next-generation technology and indoor connectivity, enabling Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7 benefits for home users.

it has opened up. now market will start applying for tec cert so probably will take few months till u start seeing 6ghz wifi products on stores

@f0r3he4d Any idea if the existing phones which have WiFi 6E in other regions could get 6 GHz support in India? Or will only newer ones will get them?

@Skye I'm pretty sure once it's made official regulation (notification from gormint) then (some if not all) companies will enable 6ghz wifi 6e, wifi 7 etc, even wifi 8 upcoming...

It will also depend heavily on the router manufacturers as well, also if ISP don't pave the way then on which wifi the smartphones will latch on. Recently the shtty ISP are only providing WIfi 6 routers on their extra premium plans or air fiber units only so Long way.

@Kaiju404 We can just use our own router for now, because it is rare for ISP routers to be good anyway. Besides, not everyone need 6 GHz router, and those who do can buy one, or maybe ISPs could offer them for Gigabit plan users in the future.

 

[Kaiju404]

@Skye I wish if ISP just provides us wifi 6e router in all plans, like build some competition then only other will follow Excitel is already planning to launch their Moksha series routers

Thinking about buying TP-Link AXE5400 on the upcoming sale will it be worth it since 6Ghz is opened now? P.S still available

 

[f0r3he4d]

it has a 1gbe uplink not worth it also 160mhz band max
