Wi-Fi really sucks in Europe.
2.4 GHz has three non-overlapping channels, is unusably noisy in cities and is slow even on a good day.
5 GHz has just one useful 80 MHz channel, the rest is DFS or low power. Low power 5 GHz is really short range.
6 GHz is low power only, and just three non-overlapping 160 MHz channels or six 80 MHz ones. 6 GHz and lower power means this is probably "work only in the same room" territory.
