While Wi-Fi 6 routers are backwards compatible, which means any Wi-Fi device can connect to them, to get the full benefit of the new wireless technology, the device you're using needs to be Wi-Fi 6 as well.

The good news is that an increasing number of new smartphones, tablets and laptops are all Wi-Fi 6. And, even if you don't have many (or any) Wi-Fi 6 devices right now, getting a Wi-Fi 6 router means you'll be well prepared when you upgrade your devices.
