No, you're thinking of WiFi 5. WiFi 5 supported only the 5GHz band, so all WiFi 5 routers did WiFi 5 on 5GHz and fell back to WiFi 4 for 2.4GHz.

One of the features of WiFi 6 is that it supports both the 2.4 and 5GHz bands, and one of the benefits of upgrading from WiFi 5 to WiFi 6 is that you're getting a 2-generation upgrade for the 2.4 band. While 2.4 isn't exciting like 5, it is the longer-range band, and WiFi 6 offers improvements to efficiency and congestion management for that band.

The vast majority of WiFi 6 routers will have two WiFi 6 radios, one for 2.4GHz and one for 5GHz. This model, which BTW, is exclusive to Wal-Mart, cheaps out by having just one WiFi 6 radio for the 5GHz band and using a cheap legacy WiFi 4 radio for the 2.4GHz band.

Anyway, "AX1800" is generally the low-end budget spec for a "pure" WiFi 6 system (almost 600 on 2.4GHz, plus 1200 on 5GHz). "AX3000" is a midrange pure WiFi 6 system (almost 600 on 2.4GHz, plus 2400 on 5GHz from the use of wider channels). And you can spot the gimped systems by the "AX1500" or "AX1450") (300 or less on 2.4GHz, plus 1200 on 5GHz).

The real kicker is that "pure" WiFi 6 routers that support WiFi 6 on both bands are not that much more expensive. For example, look at these past SD threads:

Note that this device does WiFi 6 only in the 5GHz band. It uses WiFi 4 on the 2.4GHz band.

For this price it's great. I picked one up. It was the cheapest router I could find ($41 at the time) that had gigabit ports. I'm very happy with the range and speed. I'm using it with 300mbps internet and it has been perfect.

I bought this router because it was well reviewed for its range. It gives me the same range as my Nighthawk AX3000. The TP-Link speeds on my 300mbs service is similar at all ranges to the Nighthawk as well. Very happy with it for only $36.

Aren't all routers like this? The WiFi 4 standard supported 5ghz, but it's been superceded by WiFi 5 and 6, both of which are backwards compatible.

I'd want some for a botnet - DDOS attack as a service or something. May even mine Monero for the fun of it.

I get a text when anybody joins the network and I block them. Most of the time I block myself, but it works.

You should check the logs on your router some time. I get random ip addresses from Russia trying to get in my home network like every 10 minutes.

Most come from china and russia, they probe to map what's out there\vulnerable. On a completely random note, if anyone is ever setting up IDS/IPS; scan internal traffic and not external. You'll waste processing power scanning incoming packets that are going to get dropped by the firewall.
