Did it take off? How many people are rushing out right now to buy a gaming laptop so they can have the best wifi?

[–] GiddyGap@lemm.ee 43 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No one, because their router probably doesn't support it.

Their router probably doesn't support 6, and neither does their devices.

Hell, my ethernet networking doesn't support the speeds wifi6 supposedly delivered.

Realistically, as long as it's faster than your internet connection, you're unlikely to give a fuck either way.

I only upgraded to gigabit ethernet for game streaming from my upstairs PC.

It's useful for in-house streaming, like with Valve's SteamLink, but aside from that, meh

I hope not much some are decent and have swappable wifi modules. But not sure how common that is.
