- Backwards compatible – All previous generation WiFi endpoints can connect and take advantage of the superior coverage area.
- 100% more throughput – WiFi 6 Release 2 technology features the use of a 160 MHz channel which in turn results in 100% more throughput than offered by WiFi 6 Release 1 (80 MHz).
