Trump’s budget reconciliation bill could reduce the speed of your Wi-Fi

the The Senate version of the Budget Settlement BillWith the support of President Donald Trump, it removes protection from the unlicensed spectrum that expands the ability of the Wi-Fi 6 GHz. This can lead to the slower Wi-Fi speeds. Under the draft law, which may be voted on At the end of this weekThe Federal Communications Committee (FCC) will sell some of these spectrum to mobile transport companies such as AT & T, which you can use to improve the speed of their mobile phone data.
The draft law includes a ruling that requires FCC a auction of 800 MHz of the spectrum, including the domains allocated by the Federal Communications Committee (FCC) in 2020 for unlicensed use. copy The bill that passed at home The frequencies are excluded between 5.925 GHz and 7.125 GHz, including 6 GHz; However, there is no such exclusion in the Senate version. The Federal Communications Committee can be forced to sell as much as “unlicensed spectrum in 6 GHz, according to General knowledge.
The removal of this spectrum of unlicensed use can affect the 6 GHz Wi-Fi, which added a large group of capabilities to Wi-Fi when the former Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai 1200 MHz made The spectrum available for unlicensed use in 2020During the first period of Trump.
The 6 GHz range is used by Wi-Fi 6e and Wi-Fi 7 to provide faster speeds on a broader channel and 1200 MHz (Wi-Fi uses 6 channels of up to 160 MHz), which increases the speed and reliability of Wi-Fi, especially with triple routers.
The bands of 2.4 GHz and up to 5 GHz are increasingly crowded as we depend more and more on the Wi-Fi network in our homes and companies. Services that use 6 GHz Take advantage of the broader and less congestive “super highway” travel, which reduces the arrival time and increases the speed.
Devices such as the latest iPhone, Samsung Galaxy and Pixel, as well as new MacBooks, iPads, Lenovo Thinkpads, use 6 GHz, as well as Xbox X and S series, and some Samsung and LG TVs. Wi-Fi 6e is also adopted in smart home devices, as it facilitates Call faster.
In a message to Cruz And the other members of the committee, who urge them to preserve the 6 GHz band, is unlicensed, the Wi-Fi alliance states that the 6 GHz band is “the basis for the continuous Wi-Fi development and growth”, as well as “a pivotal role in enabling the technologies of the next decade, including artificial intelligence, advanced manufacturing, and apparent reality.” The message was signed by Apple, HP, Comcast, Amazon, Meta and others.
