5G is designed for private spectrum where interference is minimal. I wonder how well it handles interference from other devices on the ISM spectrum.

By the way, there are better WiFi APs. Ruckus’ APs have software configurable antennas that are rather amazing at improving SNR. It works by becoming a semi-directional antenna by choosing an appropriate antenna pattern. This technique is in addition to the 802.11 standard’s beam forming. I have had excellent results with them in my home after keeping the 2.4GHz channels widths at 20MHz and disabling the DFS 5GHz bands.
