    This isn’t a wrong answers only post so lets make sure everyone is aware of Internet Protocol versions 4 and 6.

    Most internet addies look like this 001.002.003.004

    That’s IPv4, the current common standard. And were running out of addresses.

    To fix this some systems are using IPv6 which adds two more numbers (and more bits per number) as well as a whole batch of protocol improvements.

    I’m pretty sure that’s what the WiFi ⁶ enumerator is about.

    …or maybe I’m wrong. All the interne6 suggests its the WiFi protocol version 6. Sorry.
