While excitement over 5G technology may be overshadowing WiFi developments, we'll need to take advantage of both technologies going forward.

We’ve entered the era of 5G, and while it hasn’t necessarily brought about the mobile revolution some expected, it could well do so in the next few years. The current 5G is better than 4G, but only delivers minimal improvements to download speeds — unless you live in a major city like NYC. However, eventually, it should dramatically improve download speeds, nearly eliminate latency, and reduce congestion on mobile networks.

It’s worth noting that 5GHz Wi-Fi has absolutely nothing to do with 5G mobile networks. Though Verizon 5G home internet does cross that boundary. An April 2021 study by Opensignal revealed T-Mobile offered the fastest average 5G download speed of around 71.3Mbps, with download speeds reaching 103.6Mbps in New York and 108.8Mbps in Virginia. In comparison, AT&T’s fastest average 5G download speed was 54.9Mbps and Verizon came in at 47.7Mbps.

The promise of Wi-Fi 6 Wi-Fi has traditionally been very confusing in terms of the naming conventions for standards. It went from 802.11b to 802.11a, 802.11g, 802.11n, and then 802.11ac.
