      WiFi 5/AC seems to be the modern “baseline” these days. Makes sense since the standard was released in 2013.

      WiFi 6/AX is becoming more common though. I haven’t seen any WiFi 7/BE networks so far. Most places have either 5 or 6.

        802.11ac was a huge improvement over 802.11n. The later versions have only given a small performance increase unless you don’t have neighbors and can run wide channels.

      Wifi tech went wild last 5 years. New standards every other year.

      With that being said my old router was not working well after laoding it up with modern amount of devices lol

    I said this to the wife the other day. 5G? fuck that… just give me reliable 3G…

    I’d much rather watch something smooth and uninterrupted at 720p than 4k interrupted/stuttering/buffering.

    About time they started focusing on reliability instead of throughput.
