    And the number keeps going down because… That’s good marketing. IEEE rebranded 802.11ax as wifi 6 because… Marketing. They can do it too.

      IEEE rebranded 802.11ax as wifi 6 because… Marketing

      Minor correction: The standard is IEEE, but it was developed by the WiFi Alliance (who make their money by certifying devices as meeting the WiFi 6 standard). It’s a pretty fair marketing strategy though. Normal users aren’t going to notice 802.11ac vs 802.11ax
