      Generally as wireless tech gets faster, it’s less able to travel distances or penetrate stuff

        That’s the most frustrating thing. I have 3 mesh waps in my house, but if you connect in a different room you get 2.4ghz. At this point I need a mesh wap in every room.

        As the wavelengths get shorter, so too does my patience :/

          Hardwire them if possible. Mesh isn’t great, way too much Wireless traffic that’s disturbing each other.

          Compared to ethernet, WiFi isn’t duplex.
