Technically known as 802.11ax, it has been given the friendlier “WiFi 6” name to help consumers know what they’re getting, and frankly, we think it’s a great idea. What’s the Latest WiFi Standard?įor the Summer 2022 edition of this guide, we list plenty of great next-generation WiFi 6 products, which have reset expectations for the performance that WiFi can deliver. In short, there’s plenty of new networking technology to take advantage of, and it will be put to good use in the modern home environment. The same is true if you have multiple smart devices in the home, such as smart speakers or a security system. Simply put, if you have high-bandwidth requirements, such as 4K streaming, video conferencing, or game streaming, it’s probably time for an upgrade. While it may be tempting to leave well enough alone once a network is up and running, a lot has changed in terms of broadband service and home WiFi demands over the past few years. That’s because many previous-gen routers simply aren’t up to the task of supporting multiple high-speed devices. If this helps you get to the solution, please give it a thumbs up!īonus: I downloaded the "Wifi Analyzer" app on my phone (Android) so I could see a channel that wouldn't be already taken by a neighbor's network, despite knowing that 5GHz networks from my neighbors wouldn't probably go far enough to make any interference.With so many devices relying on wireless networking these days, having an up-to-date home network is a must. It seems like the same solution as but I think that the driver won't make a difference. So, I'd recommend anyone having the same problem to try setting the router to broadcast the 5GHz network on the 36, 40 or 44 channels before trying installing other drivers. It worked for me with the Broadcom 43xx driver which I downloaded from, but I believe it would also work with the other drivers, and that the problem is actually the channel compatibility. Switched it to channel 36 and my adapter finally began seeing my 5GHz connection and connecting to it without any problem. Then I decided to go to the lower channels (36, 40, 44) on my router settings again. In the end I found out that the Archer T6e on Windows 10 will only work on certain channels for 5GHz connections (at least on my experience).įirst I tried setting the network channels to 153 and 149 on the router with no success. I tried so many drivers and so many settings without success. Got to the solution, so I decided to register and post my solution here, this way other people can try it and maybe get it fixed too!
I was having issue reaching my 5GHz network.
