The 2.5Ghz setting is for devices that haven't caught up with modern technology. As you say, my Echo devices and mobile phone connect to 5Ghz but my Alex-controlled sockets and lights and old tablet do not. Chances are that the cost to produce new versions of equipment aren't worth the effort, and as the saying goes, if it's not broken, why fix it?Re: House WiFi - a Fact I wasn't aware of!
The issue with 5G not being able to penetrate walls is something that has been known in the tech world for a very long time BUT it is something that the tech world keeps very very quiet. In the open 5G is brilliant and does it's job very very well but start putting physical obstacles in its way and the signal starts to deteriorate.Re: House WiFi - a Fact I wasn't aware of!
I got an Orbi Mesh Router and satellite a couple of years back. It was a used (refurbished) one from Ebay. Still quite expensive but I haven't regretted buying it. I'm aware of the different bands and how one can work better than another depending on varying locations and equipment. The Orbi works all that out according to what I read and I've never tried overriding any automatic settings.Re: House WiFi - a Fact I wasn't aware of!
Our router transmits, by default, on 5G.Re: House WiFi - a Fact I wasn't aware of!
