Am about to move houses and new place will have 1000/1000 speeds. Wondering if I should get a Wifi 6 router or not, is it worth the upgrade? Can Wifi 5 and 6 equipment be combined? Or will it then all be ‘downgraded’ to Wifi 5?

Usecase: At home - with 8 or so devices.

Anyway, let me know your experiences with WiFi 6 and wether I should aim to get it.

    We upgraded from 5 to 6 a couple of years ago. It was worthwhile here, there’s a big difference in 2.4ghz performance when devices fall off 5ghz due to intervening walls. OFDMA is also a big step up in usability.
