Funnily enough, I seem to get 5 GHz interference from nearby buildings through glass. I’m very much looking forward to 6Ghz. I ran some 60Ghz radios for a bit, and that was great, as it was interference free, and a drywall layer would stop it.
Unfortunately, the hardware failed, and I didn’t see mass adoption of 60Ghz elsewhere. I hope that tech like local optical or 60Ghz becomes viable.
- walrus01 5y agoYep that is definitely a thing, and you will see more of it coming in through glass in the 5725 to 5850 band, since APs can run at higher power in those frequencies. One possible mitigation is to choose the cleanest possible channel for your in home use in the bands where FCC-allowed equipment can only transmit at moderate powers (specifically disallowed for outdoor WISP 5 GHz equipment too), in the area of 5100 to 5300.

- sidewndr46 5y agoOne of my neighbors has a 5 GHz access point that comes into my house stronger than the one in my own home. My only theory is they have a high powered AP with a directional antenna pointed in my direction. They also run 3 other APs on other channels as far as I can tell with identical. Basically they use almost all the available spectrum in the 2.4 GHz & 5 GHz range.
