Stability
The most stable WiFi connection thanks to WiFi 6E
WiFi 6E is an improved version of WiFi 6. The most important improvement is an extra frequency band. There's more bandwidth available on this frequency band. This ensures higher speeds, but mostly just less interference caused by other WiFi networks. Besides, you can still use the other bands. That way, your WiFi devices will always be connected to the best frequency band. You'll experience less failures thanks to this.
Stable WiFi, but interference caused by the neighbors
The Orbi RBK852 supports WiFi 6. This ensures more stable WiFi than with other WiFi versions. In contrast to WiFi 6E, you'll be limited to 2 frequency bands. These are a lot busier, so you're more likely to experience interference caused by the neighbors. As a result, your WiFi is less stable than with WiFi 6E.
