IEEE 802.11ax-2021 or 802.11ax is an IEEE standard for wireless local-area networks (WLANs) and the successor of 802.11ac. It's marketed Wi-Fi 6 (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) and Wi-Fi 6E (6 GHz)...

802.11ax, also called High-Efficiency Wireless (HEW), has the challenging goal of improving the average throughput per user by a factor of at least 4X in dense user environments.

802.11ax standards and specifications are designed to adapt Wi-Fi for dense usage scenarios, with dozens of devices connected simultaneously to each access point, working in the environment with...

Similar to the previous 802.11 standards, 802.11ax will be compatible with the previous 802.11ac/n/g/a/b standards. Legacy terminals can seamlessly connect to an 802.11ax network.

Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) technology is all about better and more efficient use of the existing radio frequency medium.
