This absolutely.The idea that expensive, complicated equipment refuses to work with the 5ghz band is insane to me. Literally everything else in the house works just fine with the network except fish- related equipment
My $5 chips I use to make dosing pumps and diy controllers have 5Ghz
However, I have had disconnect issues with those $5 chips, whereas I haven't had a single issue with my hydros yet using a mesh network. But cooome oooon how can these contriller manufacturers not include a wifi chip that is an extra couple bucks.
