As others had said: the higher the frequency, the less it penetrates walls, so congestion will be less of a problem.

- giantg2 2y agoThen why not build solutions to congestion if that's the problem? If you had all APs adjust their power based on the other networks in range, then you could dynamically reduce power output to reduce congestion. If your AP knows you're in a congested area, then it could adjust its behavior accordingly - reduce power, select the least used channel, etc.

Reducing power also reduces the range. It would be very annoying if my neighbor putting a new AP next to the shared wall meant my AP reduced its range to only half of the room, instead of just sharing the bandwidth while keeping the same range like it currently does.
- giantg2 2y agoWhy on earth would it do that? It would need a lot of congestion, not 1-2 APs.
