What happens when a wifi 5 client connects to the wifi 6 AP? Will all wifi 6 clients be downgraded to Wifi 5?

 

Hello, I would like to ask about TPLink wifi 6 product line. Wifi 6 works with OFDMA multiple access mechanism - completely different from Wifi 5. So when wifi 5 client connects, will OFDMA still work ((included) including connected wifi 6 clients) ? Is wifi 6 clients in the same wifi network downgraded to wifi 5? Suppose, there are 5 wifi 6 clients connected to tplink AX10, then 1 more wifi 5 client connects, will the previous 5 wifi 6 clients continue to work with OFDMA?
