Hi,

That's literally not true at all. It's not a requirement of wave 2 that this occurs- it's purely up to the AP firmware and software in question. Now, this may be something some vendors do because it's nice, but you certainly can't do it if you manually setup a bunch of wave-2 devices on different channels.

Buy a mesh AP that actually is a mesh mesh, not a hub-and-spoke mesh.

Note: this also assumes you're single and have no kids.

If you're two engineers without children - sure, you can afford to save that and buy. But remember - you still have that expensive morgage to pay off, even in an economic downtown. With rent you can at least move. With a morgage, you have to sell, and .. let's just say, being saddled with a black mark for needing to default on your home sucks.

If you're two engineers with children - then childcare per child from 0 -> K(indergarden) is spendy - $1400 a month upwards per child. At some point you think sure, I'll just get a nanny for two kids - but $3600 a month isn't a lot of money to be paying legit to someone who also lives local - if your rent is $3k a month, then anyone local is likely also paying that. So, finding affordable help is hard. So - one parent is effectively working full-time to subsidize childcare - why not just stay home instead?

If you're a single parent raising a child, then you get the above and no financial safety net.

Stuff is expensive out here. Raising that much cash is expensive out here. Holding a $600k or more morgage when the economy tanks - that's also an expensive lesson to learn.

No; CPUs didn't /have/ to do that. MIPS toyed with both models for a while - initially MIPS was like "we don't interlock pipeline stages, so programmers need to be smart." Then the R4000 came out that attempted to implement that, and it was .. complicated. So it got reverted.

Not all CPUs are like Intel CPUs (which aren't all like earlier intel cpus, which aren't all like 8080s, etc..)
