two wifi networks with different frequency

Hello everyone! I am planning to purchase Google Nest Wifi Pro to improve the stability of my internet connection, but there is a problem. Not all my home devices that use wifi support 6th generation. Do I understand correctly that they will not be able to connect to a 6th generation wifi network and will need to create a previous generation network for them? At the same time, I would like those devices that support 6th generation wifi to use it, and do I need a separate network for them? If I understood everything correctly, then I will need 2 different independent wifi networks? Is this router able to create them? Or did I misunderstand the technical side of the issue and old devices will connect to the router without problems even when creating a 6th generation wifi network?

Yes, you’re right! The Google Nest Wifi Pro supports both Wi-Fi 6 and older standards, so your older devices can still connect, just not with the faster Wi-Fi 6 speeds. You don’t need a separate network—everything will work on one network, with Wi-Fi 6 devices using the faster connection automatically. No need for extra setup!
