Q1. Which devices support 6GHz wireless signal?

Wi-Fi 6E is hardware-dependent. Client devices manufactured before 2020 is not likely to support 6GHz Wi-Fi. For the client devices which support WiFi6E, they are basically supported from the chipset level. Like in the PC market, it's supported by the Intel AX210 wireless network adapter; for Mobile Phones, they are usually supported with the Snapdragon 888 and Snapdragon 8Gen1 chipset, which means the newest High-End Android mobile phone will support this in the common case.

  • Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra
