    Curiosity question, WiFi Data rates...

    Just curious, it is best practice on enterprise systems to remove lower data rates (such as 1&2 mbps, even 5.5 for 2.4, and up to at least 12 mbps for 5 gHz). Is that possible on any (or Asus) consumer device? I've never really though about it before.

    We know that Wifi and 'metal' don't mix so well. Does anyone know how bad different metals are in blocking signals? Especially aluminum vs steel? We are looking at including a lot of Phillips Hue GU10 (Zigbee) and LIFX GU10 (WiFi) downlights in some houses. Legally they have to be in approved...
