The Wi-Fi Alliance has announced that the next generation of wireless based on 802.11ax technology will be called Wi-Fi 6.The new naming system identifies Wi-Fi generations by a numerical sequence which correspond to major advancements in Wi-Fi. The generation names can be used by product vendors to identify the latest Wi-Fi technology a device supports, by OS vendors to identify the generation of Wi-Fi connection between a device and network, and by service providers to identify the capabilities of a Wi-Fi network to their customers. The generational terminology may also be used to designate previous Wi-Fi generations, such as 802.11n or 802.11ac. The numerical sequence includes:
● Wi-Fi 6 to identify devices that support 802.11ax technology
● Wi-Fi 5 to identify devices that support 802.11ac technology
● Wi-Fi 4 to identify devices that support 802.11n technology
