We repeated the experiment but only to transfer from the phone to the PC via WiFi – and this is the result. All of these are 4K 30FPS videos that was shot at Genting Highlands during this event. This extra test will be changing the payload for something special – a total of 32 videos with varying lengths, totaling up to a whopping 23.1GB in size. I only use the cable to transfer 4K videos from my phone to the PC for editing. Hence, I have cables that dangle off my peripheral vision, although I do not wish them to be there. Let’s face it – I don’t like to have a cable lying on the table all the time, but I want it to be there when I need it. Extra test – transferring a bunch of 4K videos from the phone via WiFi Also, the 5GHz AX-WiFi seems to be utilizing some WiFi 6-specific features as the transfer speed is unaffected while transferring the two large files simultaneously.Īs expected, the 2.4GHz AX-WiFi is slower than the 5GHz AC-WiFi, but still about two times faster than 2.4GHz N-WiFi. It is 2 to 3 times faster than the current generation 5GHz AC-WiFi. Steps 6, 7, 8, and 9 were repeated by connection to these different networks:īy performing the 10 steps above, we summarized the data into just two graphs – one for copying data from the phone, and another for copying data to the phone.īy comparison, the 5GHz AX-WiFi is way faster than the other types of transfer.Steps 6, 7, and 8 were repeated but the payload is sent from the Samsung Galaxy S10+ instead.Steps 6 and 7 are repeated with the 2 other payloads.Time taken to complete the transfer is recorded.The payload is sent to the Samsung Galaxy S10+ via FTP using FileZilla.Open FileZilla on the PC and connect to the FTP with the details shown.The phone is placed about 50cm away from the router.

We have a total of 3 different sets of payload for the tests, which yielded interesting results.

With a very limited time, we managed to come up with this method to test the speeds of WiFi 6. We are using the super-speedy Plextor M9PeG NVMe SSD to prevent any potential bottleneck from our PC, and connected to the router via Gigabit Ethernet. SSD: Plextor M9PeG PCIe Gen.3 x4 NVMe (review).Motherboard: ASRock Fatal1ty X370 Gaming K4.RAM: 32GB HyperX Predator RGB DDR4 2933MHz.To eliminate bottleneck and for a more realistic testing, we used our own setup with our own testing methodology too. While WiFi 6 consumer products have just started to be available in the market, we got our hands on both the Samsung Galaxy S10+ smartphone (review here) and also the ASUS ROG RAPTURE GT-AX11000 router. Funny enough, the Galaxy S10+ shows a little “6” beside the WiFi icon, indicating that it is connected to a WiFi 6 router.

The Samsung Galaxy S10 series of smartphones are the 3 first smartphones in the world to support WiFi 6. WiFi 6 runs on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz, which is similar to WiFi 4 (802.11n).Īs of now, there are a limited amount of devices that supports WiFi 6. With the new WiFi 6 comes improvements in speed, which we will show you the benchmarks later. So, don’t be confused when you hear the terms WiFi 5 or 802.11ac. The older generations of WiFi have also been renamed to follow this numbered sequence. 802.11ax is the 6th generation of WiFi, hence the name WiFi 6. The WiFi Alliance, who certifies WiFi products and its standards for interoperability, was recently made official and it also bears a new name. But before we begin, we need to go back and explain what exactly is WiFi 6.
