And the number keeps going down because... That's good marketing. IEEE rebranded 802.11ax as wifi 6 because... Marketing. They can do it too.

    IEEE rebranded 802.11ax as wifi 6 because… Marketing

    Minor correction: The standard is IEEE, but it was developed by the WiFi Alliance (who make their money by certifying devices as meeting the WiFi 6 standard). It's a pretty fair marketing strategy though. Normal users aren't going to notice 802.11ac vs 802.11ax

    Especially since there are tons of specs that arent direct wifi upgrades in that same convention. I.e. 802.11ah for long range or ap for WiGig 802.11ad or confused with 802.1ax the Ethernet link aggregation standard.

    Imagine trying to explain that in the store to the person that calls the wireless access point "the Internet".
