Isn't wifi good enough for everyone already? I mean, it's great to have upgrades but pretty much nobody needs it

[-] Psythik@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

No. It's not good enough yet. I'd like to have wifi that doesn't instantly drop speeds if I'm not less than 2ft away from the router. Still waiting on that technology. Wifi will never be "good enough" until it's as good as ethernet.

That's why I said "pretty much everybody", because I knew there was you

WiFi 7 isn’t gonna make the range issue better. IIRC it makes a mesh network even more necessary.

[-] fidodo@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

That's probably fixed by getting a better quality router or adding access points if the issue is the building blocking signals. That's not a problem with the standard, and the new standards are for even higher speeds which actually have lower range at those bandwidths.

We are at the 7 the iteration. A no half a mile range for my home modem?

A lot of innovations in WiFi aren't about having a better access point for home use.
