Starting in 2019, in order to simplify the name, WFA (Wi-Fi Alliance) used numbers to name the new standard, so the name Wi-Fi 6 appeared.
802.11ax (11ax), which is also known as Wi-Fi 6. 11ax features 1024-QAM which provides high-throughput in both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, and
supports MU-MIMO & Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) to improve the channel capacity and efficiency, enabling more
clients to access the AP.

Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) wireless Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) standard is the successor to the IEEE Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac)
standard. Wi-Fi 6 addresses the increasing number of devices in individual networks. Wi-Fi 6 operates in the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands and features
improvements in throughput, multiple-device support, and Wi-Fi spectrum efficiency.
