It’s holiday season, I still have a bunch of crappy quality calls with my family all the time. Talk to any doctor about their tele health experience, crappy WiFi gets in the way of them providing care coooonstantly. It’s WiFi that is the weakest link, the problems are rarely caused by the ISP.
- incahoots 3y agoThere's so much nuance to the WiFi problem. So many put the ISP owned gateways on the floor, behind a TV, in the basement, in the attic, etc. Like an overwhelmingly large amount do not understand that putting your gateway in a bedroom closet on the opposite side of the house when you need it in say, the living room is nearly always the problem. The only time I can recall when it wasn't for goofy reasons, was the launch of the Intel Puma chipset, where it would suffer from a CPU issue causing packet loss, or freeze until hard restarted.

- MR4D 3y ago> It’s WiFi that is the weakest link... Uh, I have a beef with this. I worked in a hospital (multiple medical facilities actually), and there are many, many medical locations have wifi poorly rolled out. Hospitals are places that look nothing like a house from an electromagnetic perspective. If you don't put stuff in the right places, it won't work well. But if you do it right, then it works fine. And that's true of old buildings and new ones. - - - - EDIT - to clarify, it's not the wifi, it's the design of the wifi network (hotspot locations, backhaul, etc). It has nothing to do with wifi wireless technology itself.
