First, speed &#8211; often referred to as throughput &#8211; can max out around 10 Gbps for a Wifi 6 device, compared to 7 Gbps for Wifi 5. While that&#8217;s an obvious upgrade, performance accounts for a significantly greater boost &#8211; some 400% in what&#8217;s called throughput per area.<\/p>\n<p>What does that mean? It means more devices can connect in high-density areas with low to no latency. In other words, it&#8217;s real-world speed. Finally, security is better, too, as Wifi 6 supports WPA3 encryption standards, the most secure version of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wi-fi.org\/discover-wi-fi\/security\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wifi Protected Access<\/a><\/strong> protocol.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Upgrade to Wifi 6<\/h2>\n<p>While manufacturers seem to release new access points and routers constantly, an upgrade from a prior generation model to Wifi 6 is worth strong consideration. Wifi 6 supports more connected devices at greater speeds with better security than its predecessors. And the differences are significant. To recap:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Top speed more than a third better than the previous best<\/li>\n<li>Throughput per area is 4 times better<\/li>\n<li>And latency is 75% lower<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These all represent major leaps in performance, and along with security improvements, make a strong argument for upgrading.<\/p>\n<h2>Which Brands Already Carry Wifi 6 Access Points<\/h2>\n<p>Several brands now offer Wifi 6 access points, with more on the way. Firewalls.com carries <a href=\"https:\/\/www.firewalls.com\/category\/wireless-access-points.html?wireless_support=5666\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Wifi 6 access points<\/strong><\/a> from Fortinet, Aruba, Ruckus, and Cisco Meraki. Models range from small business\/small office options to large enterprise and even stadiums and arenas. This generation of access points comes with indoor and outdoor options as well.<\/p>\n<h2>What Are The Recommended Wifi 6 Access Point Models<\/h2>\n<p>With the growing number of Wifi 6 access points now on the market, finding the right fit for a given scenario can be a challenge. So to meet that challenge and sift through the clutter, here are a few recommended Wifi 6 access points to suit varying business needs.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.firewalls.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-16582 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.firewalls.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Blog-Banner-General-Buy-Now-Red-High-Quality.jpg\" alt=\"Blog Banner General Buy Now Red-High-Quality\" width=\"900\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev01.firewalls.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Blog-Banner-General-Buy-Now-Red-High-Quality.jpg 900w, https:\/\/dev01.firewalls.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Blog-Banner-General-Buy-Now-Red-High-Quality-300x50.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dev01.firewalls.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Blog-Banner-General-Buy-Now-Red-High-Quality-768x128.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>For Easy Deployment<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Aruba Instant On AP22<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.firewalls.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/ap22.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-16524 size-thumbnail lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.firewalls.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/ap22-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Aruba AP22\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/dev01.firewalls.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/ap22-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/dev01.firewalls.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/ap22.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 150px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 150\/150;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-16524 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/www.firewalls.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/ap22-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Aruba AP22\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev01.firewalls.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/ap22-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/dev01.firewalls.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/ap22.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It doesn&#8217;t get much easier than instant, does it?
