If the new regs are as convoluted as that page I might just give up... again.

Re: IEEE announced approval of IEEE 802.11ac

It looks like the 5GHz band is going to get just as congested as the 2.4GHz one.

Beam forming is a really good idea, some routers already do it.

The 80MHz channel size is impressive compared to the 20MHz we have now, eats loads of spectrum though.

It looks good, but without screening who knows what speed you will actually get.

I think household wallpaper manufacturers are missing out on a market that is becoming more and more in demand.

Re: IEEE announced approval of IEEE 802.11ac

I doubt the 5Ghz band will ever get as congested as 2.4Ghz.

Given the inherently lower range of 5Ghz consumer equipment you'll never have more APs within range as you do on 2.4Ghz now, and and the increased bandwidth on AC means the same amount of data will take less time to transmit, reducing the amount of time each channel is occupied. Even with 80Mhz channels, the most current products support, there are still over twice as many non-overlapping channel layouts available compared to 40Mhz on 2.4Ghz
