Yes. I got 1.4gbps down through 2 walls. 6ghz penetrates a lot further than you’d think. And even weak 6ghz is better that 5ghz until the very outer reaches of signal. 6ghz wifi is truly magic.

6ghz wifi doesn’t go very far, you’ll almost never see 25 6ghz connections.
At work I still get about 700 down with 25+ devices connected. There’s legitimately about 50 wifi connections despite being 30 floors up, but they’re all 2.4ghz which is worthless. Even 5ghz kinda sucks. But 6ghz? Rock solid.
WiFi 6e and 7 are legitimate competitors to standard 1gig Ethernet. Setting up my new WAP I got 1.4gbps down on my phone. And I think my laptop touched 2 at one point.
But Ethernet will always be more consistent.
I actively despise those things. When they’re the full boot they tend to be too tough. When they’re the tiny little things they do almost nothing. Plus the tabs will still break anyways eventually.
Pro gamer move. Use the front facing camera on your phone as a mirror. It works great when finding ports on the bottom of your monitor.

Easy to use means people will want to adopt it, and that’s what VC companies want. Nobody wants to pay millions of dollars to make a program that nobody wants to use.

I’m not saying that 6ghz has more range or anything. I’m saying that weak 6ghz is better than 5ghz at any signal until you get to the outer limits of 6ghz. 6ghz is just that much faster that even when the signal is weak it’s better. And it’s so much faster that even when it drops packets it can resend them so much quicker. And the latncy is lower, so there’s less time between requesting a retransmit, and getting that data.
