Celebrate with me: I have a wifi 6 router replacing 10 yr old unit

I am not sure what happened to the former Linksys unit but anytime the Xbox was downloading something, it would kick off all other users. This was computers and iOS devices. The ol' Linksys gave me 10 years and conked out.

While it can't fix the slow speeds I get using Comcast Xfinity, it does seem to juggle the constant barrage of connections from various iOS devices in the household.

Video conferencing seems to have less hiccups so far but that could all be in my head.

I don't expect to be near the cutting edge again for a while. Celebrate with me.

I dread the day when my Time Capsule gives up the ghost and I'm forced to replace it with something ugly.

Are Time Capsules worth anything these days? Got at least one sitting on a shelf.

since when did they start using numbers for WiFi models? if the latest and greatest is WiFi 6, I think I probably have WiFi 3 or 4, I am not sure.

I have a 2009 model Apple Airport Extreme Dual band, G and N, an recently I connected a T-Mobile ASUS router, which does AC 1900 or something like that. My work laptop (2018) and wife's MacBook Air (2017) may be able to use AC, all other devices and N or G.

I am that Masked Man.

All you can do, is all you can do.

There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.

I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.

We are a government of laws, not men.

Everybody counts or nobody counts.

When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.

You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.

There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.

We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive

An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.

You make me pull, I'll put you down.

I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.

Wi-Fi 6 is the next generation of Wi-Fi. It’ll still do the same basic thing — connect you to the internet — just with a bunch of additional technologies to make that happen more efficiently, speeding up connections in the process.

They already have WiFi 8 and WiFi 12.... it's just a matter of how much you want to pay for the coverage and speed that you think  you need.
