You need to replace all of your devices, too, in order to take advantage of those new WiFi specs.

Do you buy all new devices when you buy a new WiFi router? I don’t.

Right now I’m waiting to buy a new router even though I do have 2 of 30 or so devices with support for Wi-Fi 6.

Previously I did buy a few new devices to get 5GHz support from an ac router, after I moved to a location that had very poor 2.4Ghz connectivity. It can happen but it’s rare, I’d say?
