What is Wi-Fi 6?
Wi-Fi 6 is the next generation of Wi-Fi. It performs the same basic tasks of connecting you to the internet, but it comes with numerous additional benefits and technologies to make it happen more efficiently. This allows for 30% faster speeds on Wi-Fi 6 enabled devices such as phones, laptops, and tablets, while maintaining compatibility for older devices. Wi-fi 6 also improves battery life on devices and provides greater security.
What are the Benefits of Wi-Fi 6 Technology?
- Better Performance Overall with the ability to reduce interference from other nearby wireless networks and increased power for better coverage.
- Increased Wi-Fi Bandwidth with 4 Times Faster Speed (End Device dependent)
- Connected Device Capacity with 4 Times the Amount of Connected Devices (can talk to multiple devices at the same time in both directions)
- Stronger Security: WPA3 makes it harder for hackers to crack passwords by constantly guessing them, and it makes some data less useful even if hackers manage to obtain it.
- Lower Latency for Time Sensitivity Applications
- Improved Battery Life for Mobile Devices: Allows devices to plan out communications with a router reducing the amount of time that they need to keep their antennas powered on to transmit and search for signals. This results in less drain on batteries and improved battery life in turn. This is all made possible because of a new feature called “Target Wake Time”, which lets routers schedule check-in times with devices.
Wi-Fi keeps getting faster and stronger. If you decide to join the Wi-Fi 6 family, you’ll be able to stay a step ahead of the devices in your home to allow simultaneous 4K video streaming, gaming, and wide variety of smart home devices. It’s future proofed!

Your modem serves as a bridge between your local network and the Internet. It does not have wireless capabilities, so additional equipment will need to be purchased to connect wireless devices.
Please note: For GoMadison Internet with Voice Service, your modem must be leased through Madison Communications. This is due to additional configuration requirements.
