    The fact that we can pull off 4096 QAM is amazing to me. However the article notes that going from 1024 QAM to 4096 QAM only yields a 20% increase in data rate, which I guess is due to all the error correction that becomes necessary when receiving such a signal over the air.

        I’m not the only one late to the party then. I’m finally getting a WiFi 6 router from my ISP in a couple of weeks.

          I did not want to wait for my ISP the are still on wifi 5 and the thing needs a reboot all the time so i bought a eero 6 wifi mesh router just one as i am in a apt then my 2 echo pops found out the act at repeaters for eero wifi so it worked out. Wifi 6 is game changer for sure super reliable devices that had a wired connection through Moca i now only use Wifi 6 on as no need for wired as it works just as good 500 down in my entire apt and that is what i pay for so sounds good to me.
