OK, that’s good.

 

I have mostly seen routers default to 5745.  My nemesis Google WiFi definitely 
doesn’t not choose 5180.  Back when U-NII-1 and U-NII-2 were the indoor bands, 
of course the router manufacturers ignored that and went for the outdoor band.  
Like you’re really going to put a 20 dBi external antenna on your Linksys 
router or your laptop.

Yeah, 5ghz wasn't that common in consumer devices before the changes anyway, so 
pretty much everything should support UNII-1 just fine. I've noticed a lot of 
routers default to 5180mhz.

Ceee), are there going to be devices that can’t connect?

 

I think U-NII-1 was always allowed by FCC, so it seems all devices should 
support it.  The change around 5 years ago was to allow higher xmt power or 
antenna gain or something?

 

And will there be a performance penalty compared to U-NII-3?  I know that’s not 
a simple question due to OOB emissions requirements and depends on hardware, 
but in general, will the performance be similar?  For example, on a Mikrotik 
hAP ac or 4011?  Not that Mikrotik is the poster boy for FCC 5 GHz support.
