I remember eating in a store two or three years ago. A table of people did not arrive.
Everyone is asking the boss for the wifi password and then connecting to wifi, but a friend who works on the mobile does not care at all.
I asked him, "You don't need a wifi password?"
He said proudly, "No need! We still have traffic indicators. We have to use so much traffic in a month."
I was dumbfounded, thinking that what I worked on the move was different. For ordinary consumers, only when connected to wifi can they feel secure.
WIFI technology itself is not perfect As soon as the security vulnerability of "KRACK" was announced on the Internet a few months ago, there was an uproar on the Internet. For a while, people's sense of security for wifi disappeared, although the manufacturer claimed that it could be repaired by upgrading firmware.
In fact, I answered many questions about wifi in the Q&A. I see many users complain about "poor wifi signal", "failure to cover large households" and "slow wifi connection"
The current wifi technical specifications were formulated before 2009. Both 2.4Gwifi and 5Gwifi have their own shortcomings. The mixing of the two specifications increases the learning cost of consumers. I always think that a good technology should be: you can't feel its existence when you use it, and you can't stand it without it. The current wifi technology certainly does not reach this level.
In fact, wifi is so popular at present, and the biggest reason why people call for wifi passwords every day is that it is free and can be guaranteed monthly. After connecting to wifi, we can do whatever we want with the flow, without worrying about "how much flow we need to download games", "whether HD video will exceed the flow", and "how much flow I have left this month".
It gives users a sense of peace of mind that they can freely surf the network without worrying about traffic. This is the key to the popularity of wifi today. Although its technology is not perfect.
The time when WIFI disappears does not depend on oneself, but on the opponent Many people think that 5G technology is the terminator of wifi, but I don't think so personally. In fact, the maximum 4G download is between 100M/s and 150m/s. This speed has been equal to that of wifi *. The 4G network coverage is much better than wifi.
If the price can be lowered, 4G technology can be the terminator of wifi.
Since the beginning of this year, operators have started to launch unlimited flow ice cream packages, but the high price is a bit shocking.
In addition, I also read some reports that some foreign users have used the preferential packages of operators. Wifi has been abandoned and 4G traffic has been used directly. But in the current domestic situation, I can only say that wifi will still exist for a long time.
WIFI technology will not disappear completely in the end, and will exist for a long time in a small scope Wifi technology can also be used for point-to-point transmission. Both the 2.4G mouse and the 5G mouse we use now use this technology. So even if the communication 4G or 5G technology replaces wifi. Wifi technology will not disappear, but its scope of application will be greatly narrowed.
