Centre issues draft rules to delicense chunk of 6 GHz band for indoor use

The central government is set to delicense the 5925-6425 MHz band. This move will allow unlicensed indoor use. It will benefit Wi-Fi broadband and data applications. The decision aligns India with global standards. Experts say it will boost digital inclusion and economic growth. However...

Below article provides a basic understanding of Wi-fi 7 and the supported 6GHz band

What is WiFi 7?

The WiFi 7 WLAN standard achieves up to 480% higher speeds and more stability in 6 GHz than WiFi 6E for innovative, modern WLAN networks.

Finally. My S24 Ultra would be able to connect to 6Ghz band. It would also enable cheaper wifi 7 and 6E products from China where 6Ghz is still banned.

I hope this will also push for 2.5 Gbe networking to become mainstream as wi-fi speeds will exceed 1 Gbps

finally my s21 ultra will be able to connect to wifi 6e

Finally I can use my aruba 6E AP wifi6 capabilities

I see the number 6 next to the wifi on my S20FE when it connects to the Airtel fiber modem.

I have no idea what that 6 means because there is nothing running at 6Ghz my wifi analyser tells me

The 6 is for wifi standard. Wifi 6. Wifi 6 doesn't support 6hgz, 6E does

I hope this will push for wired networking to be phased out completely, and be replaced by clutter-free wireless networks. The more we bathe in EMF radiation, the better we will be able to collaborate with each other and arrive quickly at a cure for cancer!

What would be the cheapest wifi 7 routers with 6ghz then?

Nothing will come in cheapest I would say check Ubiquiti or go with Tp Link Omada or Grandstream.

Why do you want one? From what I could tell it wasn't such a big deal of an upgrade

brdr 6ghz is good for only multi gig speeds. ISPs in india are more than happy to sell 30mbps plans

Wired wont he phased out. Nothing beats the consistency of wired networks.

Wifi 6E brings a lot of QoS improvements.

Im not talking about internet speeds but intranet speeds

 

[f0r3he4d]

yes its a boon for that, still i hope this opens up the possibility of multi gig ftth.

It'd probably be TP Link or their sister company Mercusys.
TP Link already has a WiFi 7 mesh router available in India, but that one does not support 6Ghz.
After it is legalized they should roll out more products.

WiFi 7 with 6ghz would be a game changer due to MLO.

We can have wifi router only with dual band 2.4g and 5g. So wifi7 with actual 6ghz of full bandwith of 320mhz is costly
