    6ghz is a game changer. The latency is so much lower that I actually don’t mind using wifi.

    Normally I stick to ethernet whenever possible, but the latency is almost the same as ethernet, and >2gbps over wifi is killer.

    However 6ghz is currently ass on Linux (at least with Intel wifi) so if you have a 6ghz device and use Linus then turn it off.

      yeah after further research I really want to splurge to go 6E or triband 7 because of the whole new chunk of spectrum it can use

      they can try to fool you on 7 apparently, some 7 equipment is only “dual band” and doesn’t have 6 ghz radio

        WTF why does this exist? Same with USB 4 20gbps. Thank god Microsoft told manufacturers they can’t call a 20gbps USB port USB 4 and ship it with windows. MS doing a rare good thing.
