I'm not saying that 6ghz has more range or anything. I'm saying that weak 6ghz is better than 5ghz at any signal until you get to the outer limits of 6ghz. 6ghz is just that much faster that even when the signal is weak it's better. And it's so much faster that even when it drops packets it can resend them so much quicker. And the latncy is lower, so there's less time between requesting a retransmit, and getting that data.

    Ah gotcha, so you're saying 6GHz is better than 5GHz because of higher information density irrespective of lower signal penetration. That makes sense. Thanks for taking the time to explain that point. I appreciate it.
