    Why is there a tiny 6 on the Wi-Fi icon on my Android phone?

    Have you ever wondered what the 6 means when it appears next to the Wi-fi icon? Weirdly, the number sometimes disappears depending on the connected Wi-Fi network. So what exactly is causing this and how does it affect your smartphone?

    What is Wi-Fi 6 and why is it better?

    wifi 6 icon one ui 5

    The tiny number that appears when you connect to a Wi-Fi network basically shows that the Wi-Fi network is using the latest generation of Wi-Fi technology, known as Wi-Fi 6.

    Wi-Fi 6 is the latest generation of Wi-Fi technology, designed to improve upon the previous generation (Wi-Fi 5, also known as 802.11ac) in several ways. Some of the key benefits of Wi-Fi 6 include faster speeds, greater capacity, and improved efficiency, particularly in crowded environments with many connected devices. 

    Wi-Fi 6 also includes new features like OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) and MU-MIMO (Multi-User Multiple Input Multiple Output) that help to improve performance and efficiency. Overall, Wi-Fi 6 is designed to provide a better, faster, and more reliable experience for users of Wi-Fi-enabled devices.

    Should you upgrade to Wi-Fi 6?

    Whether or not you should upgrade to Wi-Fi 6 depends on a few factors, including the devices you have and how you use them. If you have Wi-Fi-enabled devices that support Wi-Fi 6, such as smartphones, laptops, or smart home devices, then upgrading to a Wi-Fi 6 router may improve your overall experience. However, if all of your devices are older and do not support Wi-Fi 6, then upgrading your router may not provide any benefits.
