    Well whoever ends up buying that band is in for a load of shit because I and a lot of other people are NOT going to stop using 6GHz WiFi

    Same thing with Meshtastic. Go ahead and see just how much you’ll waste your money.

      Yup, the band is already littered with 6g devices. It’d be a stupid purchase.

      But also, 6GHz is somewhat of a useless band for carriers. It’s high enough frequency that it’ll get absorbed by most things yet low enough frequency that it’ll struggle to really carry a whole lot of data.

        IDK I heard something about it. I think it may have been the 866 MHz one?
