1️⃣ Unit‑confusion (bits vs bytes)
- "You used the wrong units there. Should be Mbps and Gbps." — trvz
- "I did not use the wrong units, I converted them. The speeds available in my area currently max out at 1.2Gbps which is 150 MBps." — LoganDark
- The widely‑accepted convention is to use bits for line speeds. When converting to bytes, use "b/s" (e.g., 150 MB/s) to avoid ambiguity. — gib444
2️⃣ Value of higher speeds for actual tasks
- "It's nice to have the fastest Wi‑Fi possible even if your upstream internet is slower. Sometimes you want to transfer files locally between devices, or run backups etc. Faster Wi‑Fi here can make a huge difference to those tasks." — Reason077
- "You can still make use of more. Local video streaming from your PC to tv, file transfers between nearby devices etc." — Gigachad
3️⃣ Real‑world limits: coverage, latency, and roaming
- "Having a AP in every room can be a significant boost if the walls impede the signal a lot. In fact we have one wall which is especially bad. Stand in front of it or next to it and reception from the front of the house is decent. Take one step back behind the wall and signal drops to less than 10%." — spockz
- "My only scepticism is how much of this survives real consumer hardware. Wi‑Fi 6 had things like OFDMA that sounded great on paper, but support/implementation was pretty uneven." — Anonymous comment
