Feature Request: WiFi 6 (802.11 AX) In 2020 Roku Ultra

[notagain]

It does not seem like people understand what low end WiFi devices do to their internet speed. At least the 2.4GHz should be replaced with 5 GHz. That helps.

I have wifi 6, but my tv's have roku wifi 5....that is the bottleneck speed...when will Roku offer wifi 6?

[smilinjack]

Just to let you know....Amazon Firestick now has WiFi 6.......why hasn't Roku have it?

Wifi 6 (802.11 AX) will certainly help I have Google Fiber using a wifi 6 wireless router, the network port should be 1 gigabit too.

I was going to stream with an apple tv 4k because it has wifi 6, a gigabit ethernet port and the HDMI port is 2.1, I don't want to leave roku. Add this stuff.

@IanHowe @You do realize you only need 25 Mbps to stream in 4K right? Nothing at all requires 1GB internet speed for home users. Even if a Roku was able to get 800 Mbps speed test you would not notice any difference between that and a 40 Mbps while streaming in 4K.

The good news is that you don't need gigabit to stream anything across the internet. Wireless AX has maximum line speed of 1.2 gigs a second, don't forget that WiFi is half duplex, so that means 600 mega bits a second with a really strong connection to the router on a speed test.

It's about 5Ghz my friend. Eliminating legacy 2.4Ghz devices on your network!! And Yes, I can Laptop at 700Mbps. That's not for everybody.
