Publication shares experience with higher frequency band failing to pass through obstacles.
XDA published a post describing a switch to 6 GHz Wi-Fi that resulted in signals being blocked by walls right away. The account noted that shorter wavelengths need fewer obstacles to be stopped. A photo accompanied the message along with a link to further coverage on their site. The piece focuses on the practical range limits of this higher frequency band used in newer Wi-Fi standards. It presents the issue as a literal barrier encountered during the changeover. XDA has covered technology topics including PC components and emerging devices since its founding in 2002.
