| Interference As a user of the 5 GHZ spectrum in our market area there is nothing left here to use.
Any new devices will do nothing but cause degradation of bandwidth and nothing but trouble to anyone attempting to deploy product.
We are already in competition with other major users and have been problems increasing final cost to the end user.
I'm betting the new spectrum will be so low power it won't go any distance and be so regulated to add more DFS requirements to devices making them absolutely not worth a damm.
All I'm saying is the FCC needs to make it right and do what is right instead of making spectrum useless. |

Not everyone is an expert, but illiterates. They just set them up and be done. Do they care about security? Nope. |

Re: And.... No it's not. The TP-Link TL-WDR3500 is a simultaneous dual-band router (so it can do 2.4 and 5 at the same time), and costs $50 at retail... I'm sure there are cheaper examples too.
To put this in context, my WRT54GL cost more than that.

EARTH | AC only runs in the 5ghz band... a lot of AC routers also support 2.4ghz N. However, it remains to be seen how much AC catches on. |

Re: 5 Ghz Doesn't Seem to Need More Channels :)? You can also use dual-band N900, which works great. |

Re: And.... Where is it sold, retail? Remember that the great unwashed masses don't all shop on Newegg, or shop for routers on Amazon. |

Re: Interference Same deal here. Most people have newer dual-band WAP's and beat the shit out of both 2.4 and 5.8GHz. Doesn't bother my PtP UBNT link, as I'm a ham radio operator and run mine above 5900MHz where consumer unlicensed gear can't go.
Consumer grade wifi is almost useless in this building, and I have to keep telling tenants that there's nothing I can do about it.

Re: 5 Ghz Doesn't Seem to Need More Channels :)? said by elios:i dont get why WiFi doesnt use some thing like FHSS? we use it with our RC gear and it works great
The old 1Mbps radios used fhss. It is not an efficient modulation method. |
