That's true, but according to the Iceland Monitor they've had a problem since 2015.

I was surprised myself that they weren't seen as a problem before. (Maybe a different not so bitey species?)

-edit- That's what it is, the native species are non biting midges.

It's weird that it's purpose is to protect the least valuable bit of a chicken for anything but the chicken.

In that respect though it's #1 in the CPS market.

It's not.

2.4GHz suffers from less attenuation (it penetrates walls better) due to the longer wavelength, but the cost is a reduction in data rates. That's why it's seen as a legacy standard these days..it's low(frequency) and slow(data rate). But I'm not saying you should disable it on your home router though, it's fine as a fallback (maybe split your SSID's though).

In Enterprise deployments though, it's all about coverage with 5GHz

Short answer: You are probably confusing Range with Attenuation.

For pure LOS, 5GHz has a 6dB loss over 2.4Ghz but is more than compensated by increased maximum permitted power levels, and obviously higher throughput via modern protocols.

p.s. I'm saying nothing about The Horn or Hairy Banjo's as it might lower the tone of the conversation somewhat. :)
