Will I be able to use it in another room? Because wow wifi 5 was awful, and 6 isn't that much better.

Generally as wireless tech gets faster, it's less able to travel distances or penetrate stuff

That's the most frustrating thing. I have 3 mesh waps in my house, but if you connect in a different room you get 2.4ghz. At this point I need a mesh wap in every room.

As the wavelengths get shorter, so too does my patience :/

That really depends on the router you have, my wifi 6 works in all rooms
