I'm still going to use it, though. Is there even any alternative at all?

ethernet?

As much as I'd like to agree, it's not, as many devices - think smartphones and tablet - doesn't come with ethernet ports; neither do macs any more.

I have some of my home devices wired: tv, console, home server; but for laptops and smartphones, it gets tricky.

It also wouldn't help getting rid of the neighbour's wifi, unless I get some sort of faraday-cage insulation.

"Wi-Fi" covers at least two different frequencies - is the effect observable at both?

From the study [1] introduction:

> All the studies reviewed here were of Wi-Fi using the 2.4 GHz band, although there is also a 5 GHz band reserved for possible Wi-Fi use.

The study is recent (brand new) so this strikes me as an oversight to describe this band as "reserved for possible use."

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Could it be possible to have so NFC like inductive coupling for Gbit ETH ?
