What's the "that" in "that's how it works"? 5GHz APs in every room?

I'm not saying that 5GHz doesn't have benefits, just that many of them are hard to exploit when you have real walls.



Using higher GHz is all about selling more hardware.

Let’s use 500 GHz so you have to have one in ever corner of every room to work. And don’t breathe or take a shower because that will block the signal.


They do indeed have 5GHz APs in almost every room in most commercial installations in the US.
