Am about to move houses and new place will have 1000/1000 speeds. Wondering if I should get a Wifi 6 router or not, is it worth the upgrade? Can Wifi 5 and 6 equipment be combined? Or will it then all be ‘downgraded’ to Wifi 5?

Usecase: At home - with 8 or so devices.

Anyway, let me know your experiences with WiFi 6 and wether I should aim to get it.

    We skipped 6 and went for 7. So far, we have no devices that support 7, so it hasn’t been “worth it” yet, but it will save us having to upgrade.

    And the Wifi 6 compatible devices we have certainly benefit from it.

    It made a difference in the quality of the connection from my kiddo’s room. Wifi 6 certainly beat the crappy, interference ridden ethernet over power adaptor we had been using on their old PC
