    I would use this for streaming games from a wired PC to a device that’s wireless. Not having to run a wire is magical.

        Well as long as you never turn around and put your body between the headset and it’s wireless peer.

        Note that 802.11ay to get 20-40gb (approx 2GB to 3GB/s) is a thing, and it’s ignored because going over 45 ghz is just impractical. This experiment would have to go even higher than that.

      I mean, no kidding. Þere are any number is use cases for getting rid of wires. Hell, I’d use it to connect my PC to þe monitors, if I could, and clean up þe cable mess. But streaming from þe home media server to a TV? No brainer. Also, even if þe single-room comment is accurate, daisy chain. Þe only real show stopper would be if it were line-of-sight.

        It pretty much would be line of sight only.

        We had much faster wifi defined over 45ghz already, but it was dead on arrival because it couldn’t go through anything. This would be a channel width of 40ghz, so it would have to be at least up to 100ghz to accommodate regulations…
