By way of explanation this wasn't cheap. The phone itself was full retail when I bought it, and there's a stack of equipment between the phone and my internet:
1 - Motorola MB 8611 - $189
2 - Topton N6005 2.5Gb router - $500 (includes ram and storage)
3 - Ubiquiti U6 Enterprise - $320 (includes POE+ injector)
4 - Ubiquiti Switch Flex XG - $299
Having said that, now that Apple has also refreshed their latest devices to use 6e, I assume people using either a 2022 ipad pro, or 2023 Macbook Pro (no Apple phones support 6e, yet) will enjoy similar speeds.
My comcast internet tops out at 1.4 gigabits, so for wireless this is a good result; only about 100 gigabits slower than my desktop.
Also I've noticed people complaining about the Pixel dropping Wifi 6 in favor of slower speeds. This is because in my personal opinion the phone prefers to go with the strongest signal, and 6 GHz will naturally be weaker than lower frequencies as it will penetrate any obstacles between you and the access point less.
Anyway, I'm sharing because if - like me - you're in a situation where the lower wifi bands are crowded and your bandwidth suffers, you should know stepping up to 6 GHz aka Wifi 6E will at least for now get you out of the crowd and let you enjoy decent speeds.
