Saw this packaging at Costco the other day:
The thing that caught my eye:
With the WIFI 5 standard being the 802.11ac spec, that's only 5Ghz and necessitates manufacturers include the wifi disclaimer on their packaging now. Although the WIFI6 includes 2.4Ghz I'm not certain it will cover these older 802.11g spec devices. It could be a confusing future for people and wifi. I can foresee people getting their spiffy WIFI6 / 802.11ax networks online and getting blazing speeds to there phones, tablets and laptops only to find that their 10-year old doorbells, thermostats and smart fridge's can't connect.
