Do I need Wi-Fi 6E for mesh?

Question

Accepted Answer

Wi-Fi 6E adds a dedicated 6GHz backhaul band — mesh nodes talk to each other without competing with your devices. This improves mesh performance in busy households. For 1-2 people, Wi-Fi 6 mesh is fine. For 5+ devices streaming simultaneously, 6E is worth it.
