Poor range means less interference from neighbors, which I've found is a good thing. I'm pretty sure I have a neighbor with a leaky microwave or cordless phone that wipes out 2.4 intermittently. Remember: interference isn't all WiFi.

It does, and that's generally a good thing. But I have 2 routers in a mesh, about 50 or so feet away, that work serviceably in my house on 5g, and poor connection on 6g. I think in the future people are going to need a lot more nodes. Like, twice as many. But hey, fast speeds and less interference.

I've been at the "have one AP in every air space where we make significant use of WiFi" for ~5 years. My 1700sqft home has 4 Google mesh nodes, and I've moved towards hard wiring them. Has really improved the wifi quality.

So, note to new IoT device makers… give it an AP

Ugh. No, thanks.

[jamiek88]

Yeah. Imagine trying to hunt down misbehaving devices when every single one is an ap
