#118: IPhone 11 WiFi 6 And PC Performance With Netgear Nighthawk. Any Good?
About this episode
Does the iPhone 11 perform better than an iPhone 10 XS Max and iPhone X when using WiFi 6? What about a PC upgraded to use WiFi 6? Is it worth it upgrading your network to WiFi 6 (802.11ax)?
In this video I show you the performance of multiple devices - iPhone 11, iPhone XS Max, iPhone X, iPhone 7 and PC - when using a Netgear Nighthawk AX6000 RAX80 Router. Is wifi 6 better? I think so based on my tests. I am getting over 800 Mbps on a iPhone and over 900 Mbps with a PC. I think that is good performance! However, this is in a test environment - your results may vary depending on where you position the WiFi access point or router and what interference you encounter (thick walls, metal etc). You also need devices that support 802.11ax such as a Galaxy S10 or iPhone 11. Without Wi-fi 6 or 802.11ax support, you may not see much difference in your tests.
