FAQs

• What is Wi-Fi 6E?

  Wi-Fi 6E offers the features and capabilities of Wi-Fi 6—including higher performance, lower latency, and faster data rates—extended into the 6 GHz band. In other words, Wi-Fi 6E provides a new band of Wi-Fi spectrum operating on the 6 GHz frequency that leverages the advanced speeds available with Wi-Fi 6 (which brought 802.11ax support). The 6 GHz band provides up to seven different 160 MHz wide channels to use while the 5 GHz band only has two.

• When should I use Wi-Fi 6E?

  If you have a Wi-Fi 6E device and are experiencing slower speeds in the 5 GHz band, we recommend you enable Wi-Fi 6E. The Wi-Fi 6E band uses WPA3 encryption and will switch your primary Wi-Fi network to WPA3 when turned on. If a device with WPA2 encryption is connected to your primary network when you turn on Wi-Fi 6E, that device may disconnect. If so, you can connect it to the IoT network which uses WPA2 encryption.

• Does my Verizon Router support Self Organizing Network (SON)?

  Yes, it is supported by default and can be managed within the My Fios app, My Verizon, or locally on the router. Please visit verizon.com/sonsupport for more SON information.
