Am about to move houses and new place will have 1000/1000 speeds. Wondering if I should get a Wifi 6 router or not, is it worth the upgrade? Can Wifi 5 and 6 equipment be combined? Or will it then all be ‘downgraded’ to Wifi 5?

Usecase: At home - with 8 or so devices.

Anyway, let me know your experiences with WiFi 6 and wether I should aim to get it.

    Yep set up a new mesh system last year.
    At the same time; everything requiring proper speed is hard wired so I can’t say it has made a massive difference from 802.11AC. It was already more than enough for gaming/streaming.

    I’d argue more towards getting functionality out of a AX router than the AX in itself, tbh…
