We are at the 7 the iteration. A no half a mile range for my home modem?
It does exist, its called 801.11ah or wifi HaLow
That standard is mainly designed for things like IOT and wireless security cameras, but nothing stops you from getting an HaLow access point and network adapter.

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
But it can't be very useful if my smartphone doesn't support it. I think it was designed for a different kind of use.
If you're already on a smart phone it has technology to do that. It's called a cellular connection. LTE and 5G are incredible for taking a tiny slab with you miles away from your home.
