WiFi.
Let's face reality - most home and small office deployments were just "open box, plug in, forget" - and then everyone spends the rest of eternity wondering why the connectivity, reliability, and performance sucks.
With so many new technologies and devices available now, many people upgrade to the latest, greatest devices that promise blazing speeds and heroic coverage - only to be very, very sorely disappointed when they don't deliver. Sometimes, things are even WORSE than they were before upgrading.
There's a lot to unpack about the "why" this is, and "how" to fix this situation, but the simplest explanation is that higher frequency, higher bandwidth standards have low pe*******on through common building materials in many cases, and therefore less coverage area than expected. In any event, they're not going to perform better in this regard than the older, slower equipment they're meant to replace. In addition, the highest advertised speeds are only available fairly close to the access point, in an unobstructed "line of sight" before they taper off into... Well, not a lot better than what you had before you spent a lot of money.
Add into the equation that ceiling heights, shapes of hallways, floor count, materials, and other environmental factors ALL play a role in signal propagation. Clearly, buy box, open box, plug in, expect results... Isn't going to be optimal in the majority of cases.
