The most baffling thing to me about Bluetooth and I guess WiFi as well is that both disrupt each other when WiFi is on 2.4 GHz band. I wonder how creators did not see this blunder beforehand.
I know the solution is to use 5GHz for WiFi but my dad has to take online tuition from a floor above me where there is hardly any 5GHz coverage and he can't reliably connect to other band because I need to take my calls over Bluetooth headphones during same time. Now either I have to deploy another router on top floor or need to buy wired headset or continue taking calls from room on the other corner of the house where there is hardly any WiFi coverage.
- rusk 6y agoThe solution is to wire everything and leave the wireless for the low bandwidth signalling application and just a few heavy users. Once you And your neighbours have a managerie of wireless devices there’s just no way to manage what happens with Um.
- caf 6y agoIt's not that they didn't realise they were on the same frequency - it's that 2.4Ghz was really the only suitable unlicensed ISM band available. There's other devices there too - 2.4Ghz DECT phones for example when landlines were still a thing, 2.4Ghz video doorbells etc.
