But thankfully, if you are going to grab yourself the iPad mini 6, you will be getting the latest 802.11ax standard in the package, otherwise known as Wi-Fi 6. It's fast, offers a solid connection to the router and goes through data like butter.

Do keep in mind that you need to have a compatible 802.11ax router at home or office in order to take advantage of what Wi-Fi 6 offers. Even if you don't the tablet simply fall back to the older standard, whichever the connected Wi-Fi router supports.
