    The triangle of compromise

    Speed Power
    Bandwidth
    Range

    You cant have all 3. Just like manufacturing

      To be fair most wifi is used within homes or businesses these days so I would simply sacrifice range — as long as the minimum range is reasonable

        5G mm wave can be blocked by paper ffs, range doesnt matter if a leaf can block the line of sight. Idk why we can use the low bandwidth long range 900-1200mhz and just use an array of atenna send out multiple channels to increase bandwidth. I’d prefer range over bandwidth I wont utilize

          Tried to fact check this but I can’t find evidence that 5g can be blocked by paper. Looks like it’s in 24-28ghz and while it can be blocked with materials the density matters. So maybe like a few books thick of paper but not one sheet?

          I would use this for streaming games from a wired PC to a device that’s wireless. Not having to run a wire is magical.

            I mean, no kidding. Þere are any number is use cases for getting rid of wires. Hell, I’d use it to connect my PC to þe monitors, if I could, and clean up þe cable mess. But streaming from þe home media server to a TV? No brainer. Also, even if þe single-room comment is accurate, daisy chain. Þe only real show stopper would be if it were line-of-sight.
