    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.

        Wifi cannot ever be better than ethernet because all APs will use ethernet to connect out to other things.

        But wifi 6 on my laptop can reach higher speeds than the ethernet port on my laptop. In that regard it actually is better.

          True, but that’s just your laptop. Ethernet can reach 25 gigabits far and away faster than any wifi.

      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.

      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.
