My recent two weeks in Wi-Fi
Last week, a Telco technician arrived at our home to install our first 802.11ac Router (with embedded ONT) [802.11n was our previous high water mark]. He then adjusted the fiber optic Internet service from 500 Mbps up to 1.5 Gbps. Even the new Wi-Fi connections are nearly 300 Mbps ("433 Mbps"). Not bad considering our house is on several acres of tranquil forest in an area of distinctly low density sprawl.
This week, my employer of multiple decades suddenly installed state-of-the-art Wi-Fi throughout the facility. Startlingly unlike their traditional mindset. The access points are top end and retail for US$1k each. Wi-Fi connections are hundreds of Mbps.
It's all a bit surreal.
