gollark: I would simply parent optimally.
gollark: There's actually 60GHz WiFi but even less stuff supports that and it can't go through any obstruction.

gollark: 6GHz has even more but nothing supports that.
gollark: Mostly since they can throw more bandwidth at it, while the 2.4GHz band is very narrow.
