6E is great, but basically nothing supports it. I got a 6E capable AP from Ubiquiti, and looking at my devices table, basically nothing has ever used the 6GHz radio. My house has a wide variety of devices, many new. The only thing that’s used it is my MacBook

I got over a 1 gigabit download on my S23 Ultra and still couldn’t believe that 10 years ago 10 megabit on wifi was considered decent.

It’s the absolute best computer I’ve ever owned. Maxed out it’s ram and everything just flies

Smidge over 1.1Gbps peak, average probably around 900Mbps.

Most new devices support 6E at this point with the exception of low-cost phones/computers and IoT devices.
