I did expect that this community to be heavily focused towards the security of their network, which is excellent, but am I to assume that the WiFi 6/6E doesn't interest you at all? I am asking because I didn't expect to see the newer 6E standard so soon and I am sure it's going to confuse the user quite a bit.

Doesn’t interest me very much. I chased the latest in the 90’s and early OO’s. But these days I value consistency. WiFi is not something I think about if I can avoid it. I would rather spend the effort doing what I am wanting to do and tech is rarely the bottle neck and when it is going from one old technology to a slightly less old one is inevitably enough.

To put it another way technology pitched as future proof is always the fastest to go obsolete. And Linux on my router never will.
