Dead zones and signal drops are the bane of modern living, especially when you’re paying for gigabit speeds but seeing a fraction of that in the upstairs office. Large homes face a unique challenge: the 6GHz band introduced with Wi-Fi 6E offers incredible speeds and zero interference, but it struggles to penetrate thick walls compared…
