Still only 2.4GHz wifi :-/

ESP32-C5 does support 5GHz, so there’s an option out there. It’s also reasonably powerful for a micro and supports Thread, Zigbee, and BLE.

yeah only universal compatibility what a shame

  • Some of us have a challenging RF environment and rely on the 5GHz band for reliability, even for low data rates.

  • 802.11a was ratified at the same time as 802.11b, and still doesn't have to fight with cheap baby monitors for bandwidth.
