To a degree, that is a good thing. High density living spaces (apartments) end up with so much interference on 2.4GHz that it becomes unusable.
- foepys 6y agoFor reference: a few years ago I lived in an apartment where I counted at least 35 different 2.4 GHz networks. This wasn't even a high-rise but in a street with normal 3 story apartment buildings. Wifi only worked on channel 13 reliably because many access points don't include channel 13 in their "random channel" configuration because it's only available in Europe.
