Yep. That is true. I didn't think of that at all! But then, why do current WiFi, etc. work at 2.4GHz, if device speeds aren't at those levels?

I'll try wireless transmissions of files at 10MHz then in the lower frequency regions. Then by replacing hardware, maybe I'll just have to change a single number!

I already use just wired connections but today's extreme use of mobile phones has made securing wireless networks a compulsion!
Thanking you
