The meaningful upgrade over 802.11ac is not raw headline speed — it is efficiency. OFDMA allows the access point to service multiple clients within a single transmission window instead of queuing them, so a floor with forty devices behaves noticeably better than it would on an equivalent 802.11ac unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWPA3 support is worth weighing separately from performance. Security requirements in government, education, and healthcare procurement increasingly specify WPA3, and retrofitting it means replacing access points. Buying Wi-Fi 6 hardware that already supports it avoids that cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTarget Wake Time is the feature that matters most in IoT-heavy deployments. Sensors, handheld scanners, and battery devices can negotiate scheduled wake windows rather than listening continuously, which extends their runtime substantially. On a warehouse or retail floor running dozens of battery scanners, that is an operational cost saving rather than a specification detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2
