The first router Wifi 6 router was released in 2018, but most mesh systems came out at 2020. Some major manufacturers (Google and Unifi) still didn't fully embrace it (Unifi has a Wifi 6 AP, but not a UDM).
Right now, there is one wifi 6e router and one wifi 6e client device. By this timeline, Wifi 6E will become mainstream somewhere in 2023.
"Wait for something" is rarely a good advice in tech. New stuff comes out all the time and by the time something reaches mainstream, next best thing is already at the door.
Average wifi 5 mesh router can't reach the theoretical max of 3.5Gbps throughput, most are around 2Gbps. Average netflix 4k or amazon 4k stream is around 25Mbps. So unless you are streaming 81 separate streams at the same exact time and have fiber to your house to handle it...wifi 5 is fine for you.
Lets say you have a media server...average full fledge raw bluray stream is around 75Mbps....so you are still fine, unless
9/10 times, folks are limited by their modem, its not your router.
"omg but I need more".
Buy a wifi 5 mesh orbi or linksys network on ebay, 3 nodes for $100. Youll solve all coverage issues and not have any problems. Add more nodes if you have a multi story house.
Wifi 6 won't fix your coverage issue if you have wifi 5...just as an fyi, they both have similar ranges.
For reference, I have > 80 devices connected on a wifi 5 and a media server...no issues with a family of 6 across 5000 sqft single story. Even once 8k is mainstream and have a media server, still pretty confident wifi 5 will handle it.
Routers have become fridges
