    Will it make my ISP give me more internets to push through that WiFi? No? Then it isn’t going to change my world, sadly.

      While I think most agree with you, it’s important to note there is more to networking than WAN access. Streaming 4k in your home network over WiFi sounds pretty awesome for security cameras and other self-hosted medias.

      My upload speed is 10mbit/s. It’s 2024, and this is ridiculous. I pay over $80 a month for this internet in one of the largest cities in the United States. I live in a very populated part of the city, too.

      I fucking hate ISP’s.

      My ISP gives 1000mb down, currently no wifi 6 device can fully utilise that unless it’s practically kissing the access point. So it will improve throughput over wifi 6. If your ISP doesn’t deliver more than ~50mb, you might not notice
