I am just glad that 6E and 7 have access to 6GHz so that once my devices support it i can disable both 2.4 and 5GHz to lower interference from neighboring networks. The higher it goes in frequency the less interference everyone will get.
It'd be real freakin awesome if every IoT device didn't still rely on 2.4Ghz
Cheaper wi-fi NIC for cheap devices. Won’t change. Those devices use so little bandwidth and often are placed all over the house so 2.4G’s greater ability to pass through walls / floors makes 2.4G ideal for those devices.
But also prone to interference whenever the microwave is used. My wireless headphones lose their shit when the microwave kicks on
I think the more expensive microwave body offers better isolation.
Same happened to me.
I bought a new microwave.
