I’m in a dense apartment block in Vienna. The walls are thick enough that I barely see two WiFi’s. Automatic band selection means we end up in different frequencies.
- AlotOfReading 2y agoNot everywhere in the world uses the same concrete walls. It's quite common to see dozens of access points trying to share the same three 20MHz channels available at 2.4GHz in places like the US or dense areas in Asia.
- leguminous 2y agoI live in the US and I just counted 65 visible APs on 5GHz. The DFS channels aren't usable in this area, so almost all of those are trying to share the same 2 80MHz channels.
- peterpost2 2y agoI'm in a dense apartment block in a sandstone tenement building in Glasgow. I can see about 30 and most of them are channel hopping permanently. The internet here is absolutely terrible over wifi, i've recently gotten a Wifi 6 router just so I could have very fast wifi in at least one room.
